6. I would rather see all the branches have 6 year non concurrent terms
and supreme court limited to 15 years...also non concurrent..

That way they would not be running for office constantly. They could be ousted if they did not fulfil their promises, but they would not have to keep raising money for the next term..

If one was a congressman and wanted to run for senate, they could, but they could not just keep occupying the same damn seat forever..

No one can convince me that those 535 in DC are the best that this country can muster..

We would probably be better served if the took a page from Publishers Clearing house
