MODERATORS
Rather than term limits on elected office, I'd like to see term/time limits on how long a senator or representative can sit on the same committees. If legislators were being termed out of the powerful committees, I think the parties would not try so hard to keep people in office past their functioning years.
Or, ya know, we could just implement term limits directly instead of trying to use some scheme which likely would backfire.
