In that case they probably would try to pass a law where only so many of them could be voted out at once. In that climate, it'd be a stupid move. The only thing that keeps a government running is the people's confidence. If there is no confidence, not even the illusion of it, the whole thing comes down. |
There is thing called institutional memory which evey large organization needs to function properly. I think without some people who have served longer than one term the house and senate would be incapable of functioning.
I also believe that the propensity of incumbents to win even when their performance does not merit reelection is a problem. Term limits might be one solution. What other real world solutions would work?
