Unironically. Both chambers of Congress have throughout the past century consistently made a better argument for the dismantling of Congress as an institution. Than the most ardent Authoritarian or Monarchist could ever hope to make. Bouncing between the pockets of the domestic Wealthy and foreign governments depending on the era

And frankly I’d be shocked if the institution of Congress is capable of being fixed. With implementation of new policy and term limits. It’s spent the majority of its existence as a barely functional institution. The time of Statesmen and Aristocratic Gentlemen of yore is long past.

Though some postulate. Congress and by extension the Federal Government. Was deliberately set up, and certain behaviors encouraged in the infant bureaucracy in the early years. To grow the bureaucracy, corruption, and bloat so the Government would end up as a barely functional entity. Specifically because the founders believed a competent, smaller, efficient, and functional government would eventually pose a threat to the Liberty of the people. And move quickly enough the population at large would be caught totally unawares

As opposed to a cumbersome giant you can see making a move. Before it even realizes it’s moving.
