In the US system, I'd be in favor of just having the House of Representatives by done via a sortition process. I have a hard time imagining the Senate and President being done that way... but maybe it actually wouldn't be any worse than the status quo!

This would ruin the political parties. The only way they survive is that any rep or senator who says "screw you, I'm in office now and you can't make me do anything" finds that the party withdraws campaign support next go round.

With no one (hardly ever) getting a second term in office, without there being campaign money, parties die. Maybe the polarization dies too.

Oh, and no need for term limits anymore. Sort of baked in, without needing to be explicit.

I'm undecided on whether we'd get more ijit populism or less.

Quite honestly, I think senators should be picked by the states... the 17th was a mistake. It made a bicameral Congress essentially unicameral.
