Those in government are power junkies and hate anything that might limit their power.

Just a thought... term limited politicians wouldn't have time to become power junkies.

Our founders I don’t think imagined lifetime career politicians. The two year term for house members should have resulted in incompetent, immoral and greedy representatives getting booted relatively quickly. (Now days we re-elect crack head mayors. Marion Barry in DC)

They underestimated the lengths the parties would go to remain in power. Stacking the deck for incumbents.

A step in the right direction would be removing all health care and pensions for elected leaders.
