In response to "Let's pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting that." by Strongbad

I not only support that but something much larger. We need a factor of 100 times as many congressional representatives.

Make it harder to bribe all of these pinheads.

I don't know about 100x, but I'd be all in favor of at least 10x. -- nm - Ender Oct 2, 12:00
There's not enough chairs and desks in the House. - Will Hunting Oct 2, 12:00 2

I don't know about 100, but you have less than twice as many House reps as us and 9x the population. -- nm - Reagen Oct 2, 11:58
I would support that. Throw in term limits too. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 2, 11:57 5
- We already have term limits. They are January 3rd on either the 2nd or 6th year of a term. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 2, 12:01 4
  - No we don't. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 2, 12:02 3
    - Failing to vote out the pinheads isn't an excuse. It's not tenure. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 2, 12:05 2
      - We have term limits for President... but not the Legislative branch? -- nm - Strongbad Oct 2, 12:07 1
        
        We can debate the validity of that, but the power of 1 person vs the power of 435 people is far more unbalanced. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 2, 12:09
