You can't parachute people into government without explaining to them how government works. Representatives don't just vote on legislation, they have to propose it and draft it. Someone has to understand and explain how all of that functions.
The people doing the drafting, suggesting, and explaining won't have term limits and will have the real power. They'll also be the ones targeted by lobbyists.
You'll end up with is a floor show with the real decisions being made behind the scenes by people who are mostly not directly accountable.
Not unlike what we have now. Different, possibly better in some ways, and possibly worse in others.
