Agree:
- Term Limits: 2 or 3 Senate (that is 18 years!), 3 House
- I want them dedicated to the job as well. The blind trusts that manage their affairs in office should be verified to ensure it is above board but for the most part it works.
Still, preventing lobbying for 3 (maybe 5) years after leaving office may reduce some of the influence lobbying has.
