re: #42 recusancy

Upding for both of you, because I think you’re both right. Wrenchwench because ability is absolutely crucial, recusancy because an Affluent Asian from California is in no way able to really represent a poor white from Alabama.

Throw this tidbit in:

When the Constitution was written and the Senate created, there were around 4 million people in America, or about one senator for every 150,000 people. For Congress to be as representative as it was in 1789, we’d need to elect 2,000 senators and 5,000 House members.

And I’d say, maybe we are really not represented. I’m NOT saying we need more representation, but I think we need better. (In the Obvious Department.)
