It is well past time to make an amendment to the US Constitution to limit the consecutive terms that may be served by a Congressional Senator or Representative. Many professional politicians do not serve the people of their district, but instead serve their own personal agenda.
I do believe we have some decent congress people, but it is difficult to separate the good from the not-so-good. It does seem that the concept of "swamp" applies to the US Congress due to the fact that there is no clear method for John/Jane Q. Public to see what is really happening in the Halls of Congress or to succinctly understand the implications of a 2000-6000 page Bill before the House or Senate.
If we limit the number of consecutive terns of office a Senator may serve to 3, we are allowing a good Senator to serve for 18 years, and that is plenty of time to serve. If we limit the number of consecutive terms for a Representative to 9, they would also serve 18 years. (These numbers are just used for an example.) It is also a good idea to determine early if a congressional representative in either house is serving the needs of that representative's constituency. If yes, vote them in office for another term. If not, vote them out of office.
There is a process described in the US Constitution for the amending of the Constitution. I think the US Constitution should be our guide as Citizens of the United States. If you are unfamiliar with this document, I include it for your benefit at United States Constitution.
