3 ... In the next iteration of America, the capital must be dispersed throughout the nation, with the Senate in one place, House in another, Supremes in another, and President in another. And Congressmen should not live in the place where they meet, they go there for a month at a time to conduct business and then back home.

I'll up the ante. Make all of the Congress critters live in the same co-ed dormitory while Congress is in session with no family visitation privileges. And required to eat in the dorm cafeteria. And required to use the same infirmary. Many benefits ...

1. They will grow to hate each other even more and get the job done just to get away from each other.

2. May encourage an increase in self-limiting term limits because they won't be enjoying the after-hours high life in DC as much entertaining in their private 2nd homes.

3. No worries on keeping a 2nd home in the D.C. area.

4. If the jihadis want to get 'em, this will make the job easier for them by clumping the Congress critters together in 1 spot. We can easily replace them in special elections.
