Thing is crooked folks stay in positions forever. Or become corrupt over time. If you can’t get something done in 4 or 5 years then it’s time to go and if the next person elected starts undoing good that the last person did then you elected the wrong candidate.

I understand that corruption is the biggest problem but if we could somehow limit the powers of congress we could tackle that problem from a different perspective.

The Supreme Court has been particularly fucked up as of recent as well. Using their personal beliefs when it comes time to make decisions that effects all of us.

I consider the SCOTUS as illegitimate they don't represent the views of the people.

Nope just their own religious beliefs. Start taxing the church and see how quick things change.
