If I was going to be repealing a Constitutional Amendment, I would start with the
Seventeenth followed closely by a strong revision of the
Sixteenth.
Senators serve a six-year term of office -- let's install term limits there. You get to serve for twelve years max -- that is it. With emphasis on
SERVE. You are banned from any lobbying activity for twelve years after that. You are done -- go home and play with your grandchildren...
Representatives serve two-year terms -- let's cap that at six terms. Twelve years is enough to do your work, get some pork and make some money the old fashioned way. Grifting it.
