There should be a clause in holding elected office that each official needs to be able to move under their own power to their seat to be eligible to hold office. This does not exclude those who are wheelchair bound, as those who can wheel themselves or even use their own wrist to control their wheelchair.
What we don't need is someone like Diane Feinstein who not only cannot manage to move herself but also does not seem to have any awareness of what is going on.
No, this will not solve many problems. But it will solve one problem having old bags of bones hold office even when they are not really able to do their job properly. Granted, politicians doing less would be an overall benefit, but they are getting paid fairly well so I guess I should expect something.
Other small fixes can and should be made. Even small steps can help. But we are probably screwed anyways, though the least we can do is try.
