This story just made my day.
1st -- outlaw lobbying completely. Any congresscritter caught accepting anything from anyone other than a family member goes to prison for 20 years. And the finances of the congresscritter and all relations gets audited. The congresscritter and all family members are barred from taking jobs with companies the congresscritter made any favorable ruling or gave any support in legislation for 20 years after the congresscritter leaves office.
2nd--1 6 year term for all congresscritters both Senate and House and then they have to go home to their former residence and face their neighbors.
3rd--see # 1
4th-- Representatives should be random picked by computer programmed by a Republican and Democrat from the voters in the previous Presidential election.
The Senate was originally intended to represent the landed gentry and the House was supposed to represent the common man in the street --- not be composed of wealthy lawyers. People who are picked can decline if they can show it would be an undue hardship, otherwise it's like getting drafted.
5th --- see # 1
