OPINION — It’s not often that I hear about a proposal coming out of Congress and think immediately, “Wow — that’s a great idea.” (No offense, Congress.)

But a recent move from Reps. Tom Reed and Josh Gottheimer was one of those moments. The pair is calling for changes to the House rules to incentivize bipartisanship and consensus-building over the gridlock and tribalism that we’ve all seen growing for the last 15 years or so.

The Republican from New York and Democrat from New Jersey packaged their reforms as a proposal to “Break the Gridlock” and moved the idea out of the House’s Problem Solvers Caucus.

It used to be that caucuses were reserved for ideas and issues that wouldn’t naturally have enough support in Congress without a focused effort, like the Auto Care Caucus or the Electromagnetic Pulse Caucus or the Congressional Chicken Caucus. (All real, by the way.)

The fact that “solving problems” needs its own support group of like-minded members is all you really need to know about how dysfunctional Congress has become. So in terms of problems to solve, changing the rules of Congress is about as good as it gets.
