The House has far too few members - it has not kept up with population growth. It thus has attracted too many of the grandstanding idiot breed of politician - just like the Senate - and these have little interest in "representing" anything except conveying the Deep State's orders to the little people.

2,500 House members and a repeal of the 17th Amendment would work wonders in restoring the Republic.

That’s a silly idea. They dont work for anything other than reelection now. Term limits would be more fruitful. Repeal the 17th amendment.

2500 House members.....and then another 25,000 mostly liberal staffers, who jump from one Congressperson to the next, so they can keep their jobs in DC and then one day run for office, a la Paul Ryan. What a gem he turned out to be. And now Georgia has the pleasure of having to deal with Jon Ossoff, whose claim to fame is being a staffer for Hank Johnson....definitely in the top 5 of the Dumbest People In Congress.

I’d rather we keep it like it is. Stop counting illegals and refugees(which we shouldn’t have in this country anyway), visa holders and anyone else that is here or should be here on a very temporary basis.

Definitely get rid of the 17th Amendment like the bill that Sasse has put forward. And institute Term Limits. Don’t give them enough time to get played by big business, Chamber of Commerce, donors, and lobbyists.

Take away any and all salaries, pensions, etc for any of them. If there are folks that truly want to serve the people they will step up. As it stands now, even the ones that go to DC with the best of intentions get corrupted and get rich. Take away that incentive and things will change.

Term Limits.
