What an interesting idea. I might actually agree that a congress that does little may be better than one that does allot; however, congress doesn't only pass legistlation that limits our freedoms even though it doesn seem that way lately. The time that they need to get in gear and do stuff is the moment that topics become monumentaly pronounced like immigration, social security, and military concerns. Not doing anything about this stuff gets people into office on empty promises to do something about hot-topic issues. IF they didnt exist people might actually have to look at a politicians actualy career record when voting for someone.
Sometimes I wonder if our founders didn't realize that not giving most congressmen a maximum amount of terms would turn it into a sluggish beast and then I wonder if they knew exactlly what they where doing and did it so that congress could never get things passed quickly so that peoples knee jerk reactions would not come into effect. I hopew its the later but I wish there was another way about it.
