I've discussed this idea with my girlfriend (a former Federal worker) and she opposes this idea, because an inrush of freshmen Congresscritters who have no idea what is what would be beholden to the rank and file of Federal workers who aren't elected and thus, know the system more than those elected do.

In other words, the institutional knowledge shifts from elected Congresscritters to unelected bureaucrats.

Nah, I'm convinced that if we were to stop elections, and go to a 100% random lottery that selects 200 random citizens w/out any idea of their credentials, we would have a healthier political system than the one we have now.
