I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years and just tell them we won't hold it against them, whatever decisions they make, to just let them help this country recover. I really hope that someone can agree with me on that. You want people who don't worry about the next election.
I don't really buy that she was "tongue-in-cheek" in that she was just kidding. I do think that she said it knowing it would never happen (it would require a Constitutional amendment) but, as a theoretical move, she thought would be a good idea. As in "Everyone spends more time worrying about getting re-elected than they worry about doing their job" which is certainly no new complaint.
Had she suggested suspending the presidential election, I suppose there would be a little more to ***** about. Not really though given the improbable nature of her suggestion.
