Being a congressperson isn't something you're supposed to have to get good at. You're supposed to just be a representative of the people. The "experts" in government are the nonelected officials, advisors and agencies.
For similar reasons, all presidents are newbies. The benefits of having one with lots of experience would be vastly outweighed by the downsides...
