The main impact of the midterm election in the modern era has been to weaken the president, the only government official (other than the powerless vice president) elected by the entire nation.

And he isn't even right there. The president is elected by the electors of each state.

But, I'd keep the 2 year House of Reps exactly where it's at. If it was considered wise in an age when a horse and buggy carrying a messenger took weeks, then it's even easier (and more necessary) in an age when we can talk real time to someone on the other side of the planet. We could probably justify 1 year terms for reps and 4 year terms for senators.

Good catch.

In fact, if Junior and his Mentor are so concerned about this not reflecting the will of the people, then why not argue for term limits to reduce the amount of seniority and coziness that comes with “semi-tenured” politics?

But that doesn’t fit the Demonrats First & Only Agenda
