Six-year terms have their virtues, but they also make senators especially prone to forgetting who they work for. Sadly, the proposal has little likelihood of being put into effect by those senators whom it would put on notice. Instead they will simply keep senators on their toes, just as the threat of real elections does today. Political parties could guarantee additional campaign support to senators who consistently earned the confidence of their state's voters. Perhaps Pavlov's bell could do the trick.
