That's one big problem with term limits.
But I've got another solution: session limits; one six-month session per year.
In my estimation, the big problem with our representatives is Washington -- its elitist environment, its arrogant atmosphere, its provincial denizens.
In order to avoid "getting out of touch" with their constituents, representatives need to spend more time with their constituents -- and not become creatures of Washington.
State legislatures can finish their business in sessions as short as three months for two years. If they had to do without three day work weeks and frequent recesses, Congress could get it done inside six months.
And, if there wasn't time to get some of their "work" done, the nation would probably be better off for it.
Good suggestion, Okie01. I will add it to the list. However, I think even that change would require a constitutional convention.
Thank you.
