Proportional representation. End gerrymandering. Ban corporate political free speech protections and corporate lobbying. Publically funded elections. Approval voting or STAR voting. NPVIC. End broad immunity for the president immediately. Reform the War Powers Act to require congressional approval for wars or war-like operations.

    You forgot to add removing the arbitrary size limit for Congress imposed by the apportionment Act of 1929 which directly led to gerrymandering even being a possibility. "Representation" is so inaccurate now that it's hard to even claim it could be constitutional at this point.
