Excellent question although the filibusterer is not in the Constitution, it is the last remnant of what was the US Republic. With the Direct Election of Senators, the Chamber is like to house using the power of the federal government to bring home the bacon. Without term limits, they are entrenched power houses with ego to large to control.

We are no longer a Republic.
