> 1)  Term limits

I, too, once knee-jerked to the supposed solution of term limits. 
Consider the effects. Congressional staffers would wield even more 
power due to elected novices appearing each two or six years. Rich 
people would even more often buy beds in the DC Whorehouse. Large 
companies would groom and finance a succession of pseudo-employees.

The present seniority system is rife with rot but consider the 
alternative: no senator or congressman would ever gain expertise to 
work their way through the labyrinth of laws regarding legislation.

We await the revolution. And the beat goes on.
