Uh oh. Pork. Hadn't thought of that. </>

It would be easier for voters to naturally produce turnover in Congress if committee chairmanships weren't handled by seniority (like labor unions, for heaven's sake). It's tough as a voter to not choose an incumbent just when that incumbent has achieved or is about to achieve such clout. I think term limits are too contrived and arbitrary. I'd rather trust the voters, but adjust some things like committee chairmanships, franking, etc. to reduce the campaigning advantage of incumbents without artificially reducing the skill and experience level of Congress.
