Think we need only one more "National Day of.....".
"National Day of Recall"
On this day we would all vote to determine which is the stupidest congressman or senator. Then once that is ascertained they would have to leave office forever!
Just think how this would send shivers down the spine of Kennedy, Feinstein and Clinton. They wouldn't know for sure which one would be first. Even second place would have a whole year to worry!
I have often entertained an idea similar to this.
I call it "The Constitutent Approval Rating".
One day each year during a legislator's/executive's/judge's term of office, the official in question is to report to, and stand exposed in the town square for the duration of an entire day.
Positioned at multiple points around the square will be piles of stones in a variety of sizes and weights, to be determined by the ability of any citizen at large to pick up a stone and hurl it with force at their desired target.
The constituent citizens of the official's service district may come to the square and cast any number of stones that they might desire at the official, striking him/her without fear of repercusions of any kind.
By this method, it may be effectively determined how well any politician is perfoming his or her job, and whether the people that the official is serving, believe that the character of service is sufficient.
At the end of the day, any official who can still function may return to their job and continue to serve.
Those officials will receive an "approved" rating for that year.
