This is a good idea and would keep members of Congress in their home districts where they could actually know what their constituents think. However, I think that all candidates for Congress must first pass an examination on US history and government, US geography and basic economics and undergo a polygraph exam asking questions about their honesty.

You don't actually believe they care what we think, do you?

My congressman proposed legislation requiring them to spend at least 20 days per month in their districts. It went into the trash as expected.

Their honesty about keeping their oath of office should be the prime question. You know, that pesky “uphold the Constitution” and the silly old “protect the republic against all enemies foreign and domestic” stuff.

If any number of them fail that one, boot their sorry backsides out of office with no appeal, and ban them from government jobs in any capacity for life.
