6 years could be nice because it would allow for more stability and a chance to get results from policies, allowing a more long term outlook. But it would also take longer to get rid of a incompetent president.

The change I would really like to see is converting the House of Representatives to a nationwide parlimentary system, and keeping the Senate as it is with equal representation for all states. Let all the fringe groups get a serious voice and chance to put out thier ideas. What are the drawbacks to this I am not seeing?

Absolutely ... but let's go one step further: six year term limit for all congressmen. I think Supreme Court justices ought to have a term limit, as well.

Yep I agree

Farg, where in the Constitution does it explicitly give the Gov the right to fund campaigns?

There's no reason we can't pass any number of Amendments to enable any changes The People believe to be in their best interest.

I would take it even further than that. I would say that we make it law that all ex senators and congress persons are prohibited from holding future bureaucratic posts or working in any corporation -- in managerial or consultant capacity -- that has government contracts.

The BDSMer's here should be the first people that understand what it means to be a true servant to and for the people.
