Bleah to term limits and state legislatures choosing Senators.
Why shouldn't I be able to vote for the same person election after election if I approve of him? The only reason we have the 22nd Amendment (2-term limit for President) is because everyone was mad at FDR winning 4 terms in a row.
And why should state legislatures choose senators? What do Senators represent? States. What are states? People. They get disproportionate influence because there are 2 senators per state regardless of population but it doesn't mean they don't represent states because they're elected by the people in those states.
This. We already have term limits; they're called elections. FDR was a good president, so they prohibit people like him from being able to serve longer even if it's what so many Americans would want? Yeah, makes real sense.
Senators and congressmen serve for a long time because a) people like them, or b) the corporations help them.
