Not the best way; the way to do it would be that public service such as senator or congressman is a lifetime profession. There would be no entering the private sector again for anyone who had held public office.

Wow.  Have you thought this through?  Lifetime seats in the House and Senate?  Or are you suggesting that there still be elections but when an incumbent loses he or she gets a salary twice the going rate for the rest of their lives for doing nothing?  That should be popular.

The British are threatening to abolish the House of Lords.  Perhaps their lordships and ladyships could migrate to us!

No if retirement age a pension would be provided like all other people. If not at retirement age yet and the person does not get elected there would be plenty of other job openings, In fact there are booth Senators and Congressmen I wouldn't mind seeing pick up trash at parks etc :band:
