I appreciate George Mason's definition of "militia":

I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people, except for a few public officials.

IMHO, about the only thing the Founding Fathers whiffed on was term limits, but I understand. They could not have contemplated the introduction of central air conditioning, which made Washington DC livable during the summer.

Texas has it right, i.e. the Legislature meets every two years, less opportunity for them to make mischief.

“Texas has it right, i.e. the Legislature meets every two years, less opportunity for them to make mischief.”

Kentucky does the same. Legislature meets only once every two years. Congress used to be this way.
