The fundamental problem is that, while the people grant power to representatives at elections, there is no mechanism to revoke it. For example, the Senate can impeach the president mid-term, but the people cannot. Nor can they remove their senators or congressional representatives.
I don’t know about that. There have been a lot of people saying “leopards ate my face”. I think it would make a difference if the leopards could be removed after the first bite, instead of being able to keep eating for 5 years.

You say that like it would help us currently. We keep electing these people. We’re clearly not collectively interested in removing them from power.
