You could make more congressional districts. They should be limited by size of constituency not total number allowed. They represent so many people now that they are unresponsive. Reps aren’t supposed to be. Also term limits but that’s a pipe dream.

Exactly. The average House member now represents around 750,000 or more constituents. It’s hard to be a local representative for a “community” that large. We should vastly increase the number of House members. But they’ll never do it; that would reduce their power.

Another topic for an Article V convention?
