Because the Senators and Representative get "seniority" in Congress. Which gives them more power.
So every business or person that likes getting huge amounts of OUR money funneled back to them in their respective states makes damn sure that their senator or congressman gets re-elected over and over.
And any politician that tries to actually DO something that is right for the country is targeted and gotten rid of.
It should be One And Done and not allow anybody to serve more than one term.
As it is now, it's a bunch of corrupt criminal lifetime politicians. And they are driving our country into the ground.
