To add a few more things
- No more "language was inserted into the bill at the last moment by an anonymous 'staffer' "
- All bills have to have an evaluation clause where they describe the criteria for deciding if they are working or not and if they fail them then revoking / fixing
- Bills cover a single subject and dont attach a bunch of irrelevant stuff
- I would say 6 years max should be plenty then they have to skip at least one cycle
- term limits for supreme court
Then there's the really radical
- All congress people and staffers
+ Kids go to public school ... if its good enough for my kids, its good enough for yours
+ use the VA for healthcare ... same reason
+ Get a nice 401(k) just like we have to live with (the people should get to pick the funds they get to invest in for extra credit)
+ Get fired if they are late 3 times like a large number of low-wage employees are ....
etc. etc.
Bring them into the real world instead of living above it
