Creates a national referendum process

Lets voters put new laws or repeals of existing laws on a national ballot if enough signatures are gathered, with passage needing 60 percent of votes cast.

• Petitions need signatures from at least 5 percent of presidential voters in each of 25 states, and 5 percent nationwide
• All signatures must be collected within the 18 months before the petition is submitted
• A proposed law or repeal takes effect if at least 60 percent of voters approve it, without going to the President
• Voters could not use this process to declare war, allocate appropriations, or amend the Constitution
