AND it would be much harder for powerful people in DC to make ‘threats” to intimidate the Congressmen. They would be more safe in their home district.

And, more important, they would be more responsive to their home district's needs and wishes.

Correct.

I know a few Congressmen who would welcome this. And it requires no Constitutional change to implement.

My thought is they could meet in DC 2-3 times per year, week or 2 at a time. Rest of the time back in the home district under the thumb of the electorate.

They would become “representatives” not master

There is Nothing Real about DC, except corruption from power and money.

Lord Acton~ “Power Corrupts and Absolute Power Tends to Corrupt Absolutely”

And they would have to get a taste of their own medicine, and go to doctors in their home district. hee hee hee
