Abstract
A few authors have suggested re-introducing random selection in politics. In the United States, Callenbach and Phillips have proposed replacing the House of Representatives by a Representative House. In this article, the author suggests that perhaps, in the specific US context, it would be worthwhile considering replacing both Houses of Congress by randomly selected Houses.
