Congressional elections - Not an original idea but for years I have been saying that the terms of U.S. congressional representatives should be 4 years instead of 2. The need to constantly campaign, raise money, and act politically is a serious obstacle to good government.

Interesting to hear on Morning Joe today Dr. Jeffrey Sachs state the same view and note that no other major country has this short term election problem.
