There MUST be changes made. These would include:
Term Limits of no more than 10 years.
When the term of SERVING is complete, a person returns to their career and life they had before SERVING.
NO lifetime benefits
The only benefit that is retained is whatever a person SERVING, contributed to their retirement fund while SERVING.
Congress must be subject to the same laws they pass.
NO Insider trading, accepting bribes and other financial incentives. Immediate removal if they do.
NO dual citizenship
NO free healthcare, they pay healthcare premiums like everybody else. Choosing a plan that fits their needs.
NO using taxpayer money to pay to coverup crimes, sexual misconduct. Immediate forced resignations for breaking the law.
So, basically it is a time of serving the PEOPLE, NOT THEMSELVES!

I mean, does it even need to be stated???

Why should those in congress not be subject to the same laws that WE are.

Why should they have it better than those that they work for???
