There was a whole article of ideas. One of the most effective is also the most obvious: the majority vote. Congress is gridlocked because it's too hard to get an up-or-down vote on bills.
From there, we can shift to a mixed-member proportional representation system, which will fix even more of the gridlock - especially pork - by ensuring that votes for local issues and votes for national-scale ideologies go through separate channels.
