Once elections are fixed (made fair) term limits could be bad - it's possible that good people will need longer than a fixed term to raise the next generation, or finish projects of importance, and with free elections why force them out? any corruption could be voted out in secure elections so that is less of a worry. The problem has not been term limits but fraudulent voting keeping people in even when they are terrible.

The only change I would make is bills must be under 100 pages. The shorter the law in question, the easier it is to check for corrupt bullshit.
And only 1 subject bills - no more omnibus bills or crap like Israel and Ukraine aid together, tied to a military pay raise or something similar.
Agreed. Heck, even 50 pages sounds like too much. If possible, make them 25 pages or less. That's long enough to get into the details but not so long that they hide who knows what in there that nobody can find. AND the pages must be standardized 8.5"x11" regular paper, 12 point font, Times New Roman, 1" margins, single spaced, no extra spacing between paragraphs. Make 'em do it like we had to in high school and college.
And single line veto.
