a. National elections for Senators: National elections of senators would ensure that powerful chairmen of committees would not introduce state concerns into national legislation. Only senators would be permitted to originate legislation which would have to be approved by both houses. Six senators would be elected each year. Senators would run for legislative districts such as defense, social security, and so on. Consequently senatorial candidates would have to campaign on their legislative program for their area. The President would have to campaign for his candidates in order to promote his legislative program. The election would be more of a campaign over policy than currently.
b. Regional elections for Congressmen The election for congressmen would remain much as it is today. Because congressmen could not initiate legislation their role would be ombudsmen for their respective districts. Since they would have to approve legislation, the Senate would have to count votes in framing legislation.
c. Public funding of elections: The challenger would have equal public funds as the incumbent and no PAC money would be allowed. Election would be much more of a contest than currently.
d. Impact of the professional review on legislative performance: Proposing legislation which subsequently failed a professional review especially one for general benefits would provide a challenger ammunition to unset the incumbent. Consequently, senators proposing legislation would take care to ensure that proposed legislation passed the requirements for general benefits, consistency and efficiency before submitting it for a vote.
