Greatly expand congress (like at least 10x), and have it work like jury duty.
Random cost less to buy than congress people.
But you'd have to bribe a lot more to sway legislation, and nobody serves more than like a year or two so you can't "buy for life". Also, congress people are already shockingly cheap.
They will have lots of funds from all the savings on ads.
Anyway, I am starting to think random people secestered or something. Maybe it is only a couple of months at a time. They vote on some legislation, then work on new legislation for the next group to vote on.
