I agree. I strongly believe Texas is no worse than it is in significant part because the short legislative session limits the amount of mischief the pols can get into.
Yes, and having the legislative session once every two years also limits the damage that can occur.

House membership should be like Jury duty. One day you open the mail and say "Honey, I've been selected. We're going to DC for two years."
It might be nice to see Congressmen NOT spend all their time in D.C. Is there really any reason they need to be there in session all year long?
They are supposed to be in session all year long? seems to me that they already spend half the year on recess :grumble

TERM LIMITS! Until these self-serving anal vents are faced with TERM LIMITS, they will do not much more than seek re-election.
Since they are the ones that have to impose term limits on themselves, it'll never happen.
Not so! There is this thing called a 'constitutional amendment' that the states can bring to bear. Such a movement is afoot, look for it.
I believe that you're referring to an Article V Convention of States, correct? Whereas members of the state legislatures can amend the constitution, bypassing Congress... It'll still never happen.
