term limits give total power to the career bureaucrats and the k street lobbyists.
Term limits should extend to bureaucrats contemporaneously.
Also all federal judges should NOT come from the DOJ.
Lobbyists should be a thing of the past with one simple move: require that all political donations be ANONYMOUS. Lobbyists buy influence from politicians by underscoring the largesse of their clients. Pay to play, bribery in a word.
Being able to support a party or candidate of your choice, in an amount you choose is FREEDOM. Being able to BUY them is criminal. The politcos can’t sell influence if they don’t know who is buying. It should be a felony to disclose or attempt to discover the identity of any donor.
Will some cheat? Sure, it’s inevitable. But a few packing off to the federal pen should minimize that.
As for career bureaucrats, frequent transfers from agency to agency where their skill sets are needed will keep them under control. And closing down about 2/3 of the “bureaus” couldn’t hurt!
