The POLs will resist this with their lives. But, it is the prescription to begin fixing the DC disease that is destroying the nation.
I suggested this to a POL when I lived in OK, before 1995. Have discussed this with several members of Congress since. Some would actually like it. (the good ones, the ones we should keep)
Can you imagine the cost savings alone, plus the removal from the corruption by the lobbyists.
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.
Once upon a time, Congressmen spent half the year at home. They didn’t stay in DC through the summer until air-conditioning arrived.
