The reelection rates of US congressman are obscene. Even China has faster cycles of getting new people into power than the US.
The reelection rates shouldn't be 0% but they should be lower than they are at the moment.

Really the voters in the US are too blame for reelecting sitting members of congress too often because they know their names and faces while they don't recognize the names and faces of new people.
