3. Time to repeal the Senate and switch to a Parliamentary system
This will require a Constitutional convention, for the Senate is the only thing that can't be changed by Constitutional amendment process.

The President will become a figure of national unity, respected by all, but without any powers.

Power will reside in the Prime Minister, who will be elected by Parliament. Proportional representation will be the law of the land.
