Unfortunately, looking at the matter from the perspective of how deliberative bodies work…… you’d end up with a ponderous mob, not anything resembling a group of men and women who could weigh and intelligently decide complex issues.

Yeah, being able to get all 4350 members together to vote or debate could be a problem.

We'd probably need to construct a new office building at a minimum. At least one that would have 4350 offices for all those members.

As for debates, we'd either need a new stadium of some sort, or, perhaps we could just allow only 435 members at to be randomly selected (from those who indicated they had something to say) at a time to engage in debate on the current House floor, with the other members attending virtually.

For a size comparison, the Icahn Stadium in Manhattan seats 5000 in a linear arrangement, but it could just as well be made circular, like the Roman Coliseum!
