No more Elections for Congress

I believe in the future those that serve in the House and Senate should come from the common people with no more elections held.  US Citizens should be chosen similar to what occurs for Jury Duty.  This would mean a 2 year stint for the House and a 4 Year stint for the Senate.  Once you have served in either the House or Senate then you will no longer be chosen in the future.

Here are a few qualifications that I would use.

1.  You have to be a registered voter.
2.  You will have to pass a competency test which involves the US Constitution.
3.  Waivers will be given for those with a hardship.
4.   Each individual will be compensated for their service based on the average annual salary of a House or Senate Member.
5.  Living Quarters will be provided as well. 
6.  No person would lose their job if they had to serve.
