Here's a proposed change to the Constitution.
My suggestion was for an amendment to the Constitution: Members of the House of Representatives shall be chosen each two years by lot from among the adult citizens of each congressional district.
Pros: No House elections or primaries, with the attendant posturing. The seniority system would be effectively dead in the House.
Cons: Congresscritters would be unfamiliar with the intricacies of House rules, so you wouldn't have senior members able to bring home pork to their constutuents.
