For that to work, it would need the House to encourage frequent turnover every two years. This could be done by having more Reps with each having fewer constituents, so each Rep has less influence and power. It was like this, until the lobbyists realized that too many Reps would be difficult to control and influence so the size of House was capped in 1929.
