Good suggestion, Okie01. I will add it to the list. However, I think even that change would require a constitutional convention.

Thank you.

To my recollection, the Constitution only specifies that Congress shall convene at least once every two years (thus, the current Congress is referred to as the 111th Congress).

The House and the Senate, then, could presumably set a session limit of six months annually (or whatever) by statute.

To which the natural response would be, "Good luck with that".

There is nothing wrong with our current constitution. What is wrong is the character of those in office and the fact that for 40 years “We the people” created this by not paying attention - by just letting it happen.

The above list is an attempt to divert from the real problem. It’s up to us to fix it.
