So what do you think of a lottery system for filling congressional seats? Any native born American citizen with at least a high school education, no felony record, and no serious brain damage or mental disorderwould be eligible - except for lawyers and their staff/associates. Their single term would be 4 years with a one month turnover period to break in the new folks. No lingering benefits beyond those provided any military veteran. Severe penalty (death) for deliberate actions counter to the welfare of the US of A.

We would have to work on the list of offenses that would be stictly taboo but keep it simple, clear, and to the point.

I think they could do no worse and probably one helluva lot better.
