Two Senators Propose Bipartisan Senate Procedure Reforms
Two U.S. Senators proposed bipartisan reforms to Senate procedures, including the filibuster, in a Washington Post op-ed to reduce legislative dysfunction.
Sioux Falls, SD, October 29, 2026 —
Two U.S. senators have proposed bipartisan changes to Senate procedures, including the filibuster, in an opinion article published by The Washington Post. The stated aim of the proposed reforms is to reduce legislative dysfunction.
The available description does not identify the senators or provide the date of publication. It also does not outline the specific changes they proposed, explain how the proposals would work, or indicate whether the senators are seeking action on them.
The filibuster is the only Senate procedure named in the description. No details were provided about what changes to it were proposed or whether the senators addressed other procedures. The summary characterizes the effort as bipartisan but does not provide information about support from other lawmakers or reactions to the proposals.
The op-ed’s stated goal connects the proposed procedural reforms with reducing dysfunction in the legislature. The description does not offer further detail about the problems the senators identified, their reasoning, or how they believe the changes could address those problems.
As a result, the available information establishes the broad subject and stated purpose of the proposal, but leaves its substance and prospects unclear. The senators’ names, the specific reforms, and any subsequent developments were not provided.
