Pipe wonders:

"and I'd have to wonder, what WILL it take to remove people like the AMA District I VP from an office they really do not seem to belong in...term limits-or something MORE legislatively drastic and draconian??? "

1) District I will have to come up with a candidate first. Kind of reminds me of the joke about the blond the kept praying to win the lottery . . . . finally God spoke to her, "Honey, you have to help me out here a bit . . . buy a ticket."

2)Once you have a candidate on the ballot then you have to stir up the members in your district to get off their butts and vote. Once a challenger surfaces the incumbent will (if he wants to stay in office) make sure all his cronies mark the ballot. He may even get one of them to also run to water down the vote. Pluralities are much easier to win than majorities. Then you will always have those that vote for the incumbent because they recognize the name or picture.

Your district I VP may just be holding the job because no one else has stepped forward to accept it. He has run unopposed at least since 1989 - as far back as I have looked.
