=========================
Two six-year terms, three at the most should suffice. In addition to wanting younger senators, we need energetic, bright, and well-informed senators, not party hacks. Further, they need to build a staff that performs the many tasks beyond what one man can do while adhering to the directions and philosophy of their senator. Finally, we need to solve the problem of far too much time absorbed by soliciting funds to run for reelection.
A possible solution, but with its own problems, is to revert to the manner of appointment of senators by their legislatures in the home state as originally done, I believe by the local senate.
