There ought to be a law: Kill a representative--replace with two of the same party
The right wing thinks they can actually kill people who are voted into office. Anybody who thinks that they can overturn the peoples' decision with violence or who advocates such a thing should be jailed and any actual office vacated as a result should be filled with not one but two representatives from the same party.

1. No, there shouldn't. Some people are power-crazy enough that they would kill

off one of their own party and blame it on the other party just to get two representatives instead of one. And they'd do that for multiple offices.

2. How about just if (god forbid) a Representative is killed
or not able to continue with their job because of violence, their replacement must be from the same party?

4. Does your mother know you're on the computer?
Your law would encourage murder, are you daft?
