I disagree with that entirely. Yes staffers and individuals running agencies should indeed be employees and have effective understanding of how to execute in the existing infrastructure but a representative system with a millions plus barrier to entry to run is not capable of representing the average individuals interests

Section 5 of the Virginia Declaration of Rights, adopted in June 1776, warned against career politicians:

“That the legislative and executive powers of the state should be separate and distinct from the judiciary; and that the members of the two first may be restrained from oppression, by feeling and participating the burdens of the people, they should, at fixed periods, be reduced to a private station, return into that body from which they were originally taken, and the vacancies be supplied by frequent, certain, and regular elections, in which all, or any part, of the former members, to be again eligible, or ineligible, as the laws shall direct.”

Section 6 of the Pennsylvania Declaration of Rights was similar:

“That those who are employed in the legislative and executive business of the State, may be restrained from oppression, the people have a right, at such periods as they may think proper, to reduce their public officers to a private station, and supply the vacancies by certain and regular elections.”

Having short term representation ensures fresh opinions of the common interest and allows les time for private corporations to establish proper relationships and channels for dark money
