Fair theory, bad idea.

Not only is it unrealistic, if you eliminated all the experience in Washington, the corporate lobbyists would have their way with the country....way more than they do now. There are also a lot of personal relationships that are fairly important with foreign policy.

Who is going to organize this movement? What makes you think that the replacement will be any better than the incumbent?

People need to vote in realistic replacements as vacancies come up. That is the way the system was designed, and the way it works best. Change would definitely be good, but slow change is going to work best.
