Expanding Congress won't solve that. There's only so many votes they can hold in a year and stuffing bills with ever more information and regulations means less and less time for a Representative or Senator to understand it, which reverts to team politics. We should absolutely expand Congress, but this isn't a reason. Every well functioning government has non legislators promulgating regulations based off legislative guidance.
