Throw the bums out! With congressional approval at about 18%, this is not a bad idea, IMHO.

1Andy2;13519 I stopped reading right there. Why make no exceptions? Throw the few good ones out with the rest? Intentionally? Thats stupid.[/quote said:If we make exceptions it will defeat the whole idea. What you consider a "good" one I might not and vise versa. We would be right back where we started.

If we don't agree on what makes a "good" one, then how are we going to get "good" ones elected at all?
The point of voting for Representatives is to vote for the ones you want to represent you or your State in congress. Not to simply throw the old ones out.
A better idea might be term limits. Two consecutive terms for congressman with the ability to run again after skipping a term.
No consecutive terms for Senators, but they can run again after skipping a term.
