Wouldn't it just be easier to abolish the Senate than to try to effectively incorporate it into a bicameral system? How much power does the Senate currently have, and would electing its members actually increase its power/influence to the point where it could stop legislation by itself? Seems easier just to let the House run everything (just like it does now) and eliminate the layer of red tape/bureaucracy. I suppose the other choice is to reform the whole system to include a more powerful Senate... sounds like a lot of work to me I guess.
