Politicians were supposed to be people from the Real World who were moved to serve in unpleasant conditions by a sense of patriotism. That’s why the capitol is built in a swamp—it was meant to be uncomfortable.
Our Founders never wanted these career politicians sitting in Congress for 128 years at a time.
I can’t imagine Congress ever allowing term limits on itself. Elections are supposed to function as term limits but too many lofos keep reelecting garbage.
Quite true my friend, but the only solution IS term limits. Two terms and back to the salt mines like the rest of us.
It’s more than just the legislators themselves that stand in the way of term limits it is those that invest money in keeping them in office.
The wealthy and those that make money buying influence (lobbyist).
When these people buy a legislator they want them to stay bought.
