Maybe it is a good idea to get rid of senate seats with new people. 50 years the same people might be a bit too long
How about making more then 2 political parties viable with no spoiler effect via state level electoral reform?
I’m good with lengthy term limits, even, but there needs to be something
It’s not really a term limit, but here in Norway you’re not allowed to work a government job after passing 70.
This also applies to elected officials, so hey at least we don’t have anyone over 70.
34/100 US senators are 70 or older, with another 22 being 64-69 (potentially hitting that mark by the end of their 6 year terms, depending on when they started). The oldest two are both 89.
I like how we do governor in va. One term then you need to leave. You can come back later but theres no incumbent advantage.
