It seems to me and many other people who live up here in Canada that the use of referendums in the US is something that doesn't happen very often. In fact almost half of the states don't even have procedural laws regarding referendums.
So my question to you is, could referendums be used more often in the US to solve many of the national political conflicts there?
Example, instead of clawing at each others' throats and having Congressmen and Senators bicker and deadlock congress, why not just have a referendum on whether or not to keep Obamacare? Yes or no answer, no one can argue with the results of referendums.
