> Politicians spend much of their time in office fundraising for re-election. Politicians should be disallowed from consecutive terms. They can run only when they're not already in office, preventing them from spending all their time on reelection, and (hopefully) leading them to fight for what the people want.

This would be more viable if more people were running for office. ..of course, how much time would then be spent picking and grooming a successor?

With term limits, you'd end up with an even more powerful bureaucracy.

  Why not term-limit the bureaucracy?

    I'd love to. If you could find a way to limit civil service to 6 years, I think you'd find things work a lot better. Obviously you'd need exceptions for things like the CIA and the military, but those could be managed.
