We need age limits, term limits, and mandatory testing.

"Age Limits": Absolutely not!
"term limits" : No
"mandatory testing": Yes!

For the Senate, Repeal the 17th Amendment!
State legislatures couldn’t do worse!

Also, it’s what the Founding Fathers intended. We are now seeing the bad fruit of discarding their wisdom.

For the Senate you wouldn’t need term limits or age limits or testing. Every state legislator, governor, former governor, state grandee would see themselves in that seat! There would be plenty of competition. Also, I am for anything that denationalize Senate campaigns. It’s the state’s business and the business of no one else. People would pay closer attention to their legislature if it was responsible for the Senator. LIKE THEY SHOULD ANYWAY! Do this and I think it could be harder for outsiders with no ties to the state to come in and impose their will to take the seat to preserve their personal political power. Like a Hellary & an RFK did to New York when they grabbed their Senate seats! It used to be that the “political action” was all in the states; being governor was the “plum”. That needs to return!

As far as the House goes, I think we need term limits for the House. make it 5 terms (10 years) with a 2 or 3 term ban before one can return. A continuous decade in DC is enough! Somehow force them to go back and experience the consequences of their governing genius!
