To be frank, you'd probably be terrible at it. All of us would, if only because lots of rules and regulations deal with more nuance than anyone could be reasonably expected to understand, if they had to vote on everything. That's why we have government committees staffed with people to research this stuff. I wish I could be that involved in things, but there are real, complicated considerations at play, not just, "Hm, given the choice between these two paragraphs, I can pick one and everything will work out."
