U.S. Senate failed American citizens

Recently the newspapers have been publishing test questions presented to students on various standardized tests. Here is a question that I know that children could answer, but too few adults have realized that the right answer is within our power.

When will we demand that the people we vote for stop making up stuff to fit their agendas and abide by the majority rule?

Everyone of them got their seat, their salary, their pension, their health care without a supermajority requirement at the polls. Hell will freeze over before they demand a supe majority at the polls.

Problem: 54 yes votes for gun law ownership in the U.S. Senate did not pass last week. The 50 states each have two senators. Democracy is based on rule by the people - "majority rules." Definition of majority: A number more than half of the total number.

Question: What is wrong with this problem?

Answer: The U. S. Senate flunked us.
