I agree except: limit Senators to two six year terms, for a total of 12 years. Limit Representatives to six two year terms for a total of 12 years. No full pension for Representatives or Senators unless they have served 24 years. If less, then the pension would be reduced and prorated based on the percentage of time served, ie, 12 years would equal one-half pension. Anyone serving less than 12 years would receive no pension.
All unions both government and private should be illegal. If employees want to get together and b!tch about work or watch sports and call it a union, that would be legal, but they shouldn’t have any rights with regard to work or bargaining with the employer. Unions have ruined America.
I especially like the indirect election of senators. That is what the founders intended.

I understand where you’re coming from, but with six 2 yr terms for Reps and two 6 yr terms for Senators, you create virtually the same problem we have now — too many of the same people doing everything they can to STAY in DC for AT LEAST 12 years — and hopefully 24 so the taxpayers will pay their full pensions.
I suggest the much more limited 3 2 yr. terms for Reps, 1 6 yr term for Senators — and NO taxpayer funded pension (or at least not one that exceeds what their constituents can expect from Social Security. They serve us...
As much as I deplore Unions, one cannot outlaw them, simply because the 1st Amendment guarantees the right of the people to peacably assemble... If you want to go after unions, go after their corruption, their extortion and blackmail schemes, and their very real examples of violence and coercion, as well as their [all too common] ties to organized crime. Also, give workers more personal rights regarding how unions may spend their money/dues on politcal issues.
The indirect election of Senators should be restored — but remember, that will take the approval of 3/4th’s [38]of the states approval to overturn Amendment 17 with a new amendment to replace it.
