rb: every 2/4 years provides a stability and foundation. should one be constantly campaigning? how will one learn the ins and outs of the issues? or should they just vote on gut feeling?

I don't believe that they overlooked the importance. Remember they were concerned that someone would be "for life."

The very foundation of their ideas of being able to elect an individual and then elect a different individual at appropriate times is the most important of fundamental republic voting. It is the importance of the balance that the people get to excercise the direct vote for senators and representatives, as there isn't an electoral college to assist in balancing out the representation.

There was a person who logged onto here estimating that 435 representatives wasn't a good representation for the population. I didn't agree with him much, but I did get his points and still am trying to understand more about that. While the framers didn't think we'd have cities of > 2 million people, I do think they understood the ideas of term limits.

I'm in agreement with will, we have term limits, you better do your best each and every term or you'll be voted out of office. If the public continues to vote for you, they deserve the government that they voted into office.
