Once saw a recommendation (don't know whether it was Heinlein
or another author) that indicated there should be 3 houses of

*any* law. The third house was charged with repealing laws
and would only require a simple majority.

Two chambers. One to pass laws with a 2/3 majority - and a second
to repeal laws with the simple majority.

It was RH and the book was "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" - one
of my SF favorites.

Thanks, Teflon memory syndrome again. I read that book back in high
school and thoroughly enjoyed it. Really liked early Heinlein (Door Into
Summer, Starship Troopers, etc.), during his latter years he seemed to
become less entertaining and more vitriolic.
