I know how to fix us, Eb...

Fire Congress and appoint a new one by lottery... Kinda like jury duty...

100 people randomly chosen for 4 year terms would fix this country better than any elected body...

Just another detail on how it would work... One year before the end of a legislative term the next legislature would be appointed so they would have a full year of training in Roberts Rules, budgets, the way the government works and various issues facing the country... This way there would be no lag time between legislatures...

And...

...one single 6 year term for presidents so they don't have to waste their first term doing stuff to get re-elected...

This will fix America...
