&gt;I&#x27;ve long maintained congress would be much more representative if eligible citizens were randomly selected for 1 congressional term, like jurors are in juries.<p>I think electing unqualified, easily-persuaded people into office is not a good idea. Jurors are the weakest part of our judicial system -- why do we pay professionals to convince unpaid non-professionals about the law? Wouldn&#x27;t it be more efficient to just pay professionals to argue about it?
