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.
