Term limits… 1) Probably the only way to wrest control of the government out of the hands of special interests & eliminate career politicians OR 2) Restricts my right to choose representation. OR 3) Once the new guy gets elected, he’ll do things right I’ll take door number 1, Monty! Discuss: surely some here favor term limitations... like one term! |

When the Founding Fathers started this thing, they took time away from their businesses and farms, sacrificing a little of themselves to serve their country for a short time. Contrast this with duche bags like Ted Kenedy, and Joe Biden. They sacrifice a little bit of their country to serve themselves for their entire adult life. Every office in the country should be limited to two terms, each term being no more than 4 years. |
| In theory, and great idea would make Congress conscript service. You get drafted to serve 2 years or so as a Senator/Rep. However in practice, I can see some major flaws with this idea. If executed properly; it would eliminate politicians, partisanship to an extent, and legislation might be better for the country rather than better for the Party. |
