Yup. Therein lies the power of Congress if only they had the cojones to do such, and they never will as long as our money/political system exists to feed their next election.
In my 65 years, I still wonder what makes a person want to be a politician. Benevolent idealogy? Power over those they think are wrong? Ego? I believe most start out wanting to do good, but what makes them get so corrupt so quickly? Get to the office of city council and they go wrong, as witnessed by the increasing local indictments. Go higher in office they go more wrong.
As stated, "Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely". The Founding Fathers had the right intent - short term service and then go back to the farm or factory. Unfortunately, they did write it into the Constitution.
Not sure what the answer is now because few Congress critters will ever vote for Term Limitations. Maybe a States Article V?
