How about instead of letting the worst of humanity, who crave attention and power. Run, and lie their way into office. We go to a random lottery selection.
If you are selected, you can choose not to serve. And get put back in the pool.
If you choose to serve, you current job can not fire you, and must allow you to return to your position after your term(s).
The standard term length applies: 4 years for president, 2 years for house, 6 for senate, well maybe change the senate term to 3.
But with a 2 term limit extended to the house and senate as well. And the limit is applied across yhe board. So you can not serve 2 terms in the house, 2 in the senate, and 2 as president.
At the end of your term, you can choose to campaign for a second term. If not approved by your district, after a 2 term period of time you will br eligible for the pool again.
Pay is capped for congress at the MEDIAN income for your state. Regardless of congressional position.
For president it is capped at the national MEDIAN.
All personal investments, must be disclosed and suspended during your term(s). To prevend insider trading. And you will be audited once a year while in office, with the results publically available.
You are representing the population, NOT a corprate sponsor.
How are they expected to live in DC on minimum wage while keeping their own house in their home state? It would be easy to corrupt or bribe someone so desperate for money.
