Eminent government scholar James MacGregor Burns of Williams College argues for four year House terms to replace two year elections. He says midterms diminish presidential authority, disrupt policy, and invite demagoguery. Burns highlights benefits: longer focus, halved campaign costs, stronger executive legislative unity. He suggests shortening Senate terms to four as well to avoid midterm cycles.
