I suppose term limits on Congress would help. Outlawing private contributions to politicians might help.

Sure you can change the Representative, but they aren't the people that read all the legislation (highlight portions for the seat holder) ...
Schedule most of the meetings, appearances ... Come up with ideas, garner support, or point the poor bastard in the right direction.
Until you change all the minions, it doesn't matter who you have at the head of the table in a lot of cases.
If all you want is a bunch of rookies trying to figure out what they are doing ... Term limits are a good way to accomplish that.
I am not too sure it would end up in more responsible legislation.
As to
NightFox ... and the power corporations have, it's a lot easier to manage.
Most people blame the corporations, instead of the politicians taking the money ... Bad idea.
If the politicians decide that is the way the game is going to be played ...
Don't blame the corporations for taking advantage of an opportunity they were offered.
Shut down the ability for Politicians to go around brokering deals with corporations.
Lobbyist aren't always bad, and they often have more valid information about a subject than a politician does.
Just take the money out of that process too ... Let the Government host the talks with Lobbyists in committee hearings ... Instead of the other way around in Vegas.
