Congress can be viewed as being broken because it can be so hard to get a bill passed. Although it seems broken, it was actually intended to be that way. It is supposed to be difficult to pass legislation and our government is supposed to be limited. There are so many levels to go through before legislation gets passed. The congress is made up of the House of Representatives, and the Senate. In the house, it’s majority rule. The downside of that may be that the Rules committee has the final decision of the floor and what is it they they are going to debate. This committee was formed to say what amendment can or cannot be permitted on the floor. Which, is an obstacle to try and get bills passed. Once passed by the House, it goes to the Senate
