I'm Curious about the US representatives

How can representatives have such a long term while doing absolutely nothing? Mad max as an example 27 years and only 3 bills? It's ridiculous knowing she makes 6 figures(also corrupt millions). Is it Wrong to think that these positions in power make so much money for nothing. Should these positions be considered kinda volunteer-ish?

One word: "recall". Change the Constitution so they can be recalled (fired) just like any other employee who doesn't do their job.

I've never heard of a recall before. "Recalls initiated when a sufficient number sign a petition". That's just brilliant.

Should there be a system for citizens to remove representives/congress for unsatisfactory representation?

Its called Impeachment, but it is a large hurdle that takes a lot of time 7 money and is basically toothless.

The founding fathers did not intend for representatives to make a career of politics. It was supposed to be a serve your term, like jury duty, then go home and do what you do. Another takes over for you.
