How about a 13th Amendment that NO LAWYERS can serve in Congress.

Precede with that and it pretty much becomes redundant.

"lawyer" is just a profession. And those should not be regulated by the government. A school should be able to select their teachers, a person should be able to select their financial consultant, etc.; not the state, and definitely not some private company (the bar, the aca, whatever regulates beauticians, etc.) It's all protectionist bullshit.

That said, term limits, and ending lifetime compensation packages should get rid of many career politicians. The 13th amendment should be something along the lines of "representatives of a constituency should always put them first in their decisions, or rope" of course it would have to be slightly more detailed to prevent frivolous cases, like what is currently happening to trump.

As in no one with a law degree or no former bar association members?

The former could make things a little tricky given that their job is writing laws.

Wonder how all those doctors and farmers did it back in the 19th century.
