Bah, I still say service in Congress should be like jury duty. Anyone who meets a certain minimum set of criteria (age, criminal record, education, etc.) is placed in a lottery and names drawn at random from each district. It should be something undesirable that you do because it's your "duty."

You serve one term and then you go home.

Yes, because what we really need in Congress is people with even less understanding of the issues they're regulating than the ones we have now. Have you ever watched a reality TV show? That's the "median American" that you're proposing be put in charge of Congress.
