Elections each year for each office would be a disaster. Nothing would ever get done because there would be no time for anything except campaigning.

I think there should be term limits. I think both the House and Senate should have 4 (maybe 5) year term limits imposed with this difference. They may only serve 1 term but after not being able to serve a second term consecutively they may run again. They will then have a record for people to see and judge them on, but will lose the power of incumbency which keeps so many failed legislators in office simply by name recognition.

Make up your mind.

Is that a bad thing?

“Elections each year for each office would be a disaster. Nothing would ever get done because there would be no time for anything except campaigning.”

And that differs from the status quo in some significant way?
