In recent years, the US House of Representatives and the Senate have been unable to effectively legislate and are constantly in a "campaign" mode. At the center is this is the assumption that they have a life long job and can decide their own pay!!
The President of the US is given 2 terms. Well, we can give each Congressman and Senator an extra 4 years. So, give each House member 6 terms and each Senator 2 terms. Then they need to "retire" and let someone else do the job.
To accomplish this, we need to hold a National referendum during the next Presidential election. This issue cannot be left for Congress to decide, as it would be a conflict of interest.
