Actually, I was thinking of a more creative fix. A state legislature can create a measure where you have to be within state borders for a specified period (265 days would suit this case) if you wanted to be considered a state figure or citizen for any office within that state. So if you want to be a state attorney general or a sheriff or a US Representative...you’d have to show you were within the state 265 days.

Naturally, this would trigger every congressman to fight this in court. But if you only had one hundred days to travel on exotic trips to France in American interest, or sit around DC making fine speeches to empty rooms...you’d have to count each and everyday.

Face it...we have made the whole senate and house....into Hollywood. If you limited them and said they had to associate with their own statesmen back in Arkansas or Texas or Kansas....to grasp what was important to them...rather than some media group in DC...you might actually get something accomplished.
