Forty years in Congress. This is what is a major wrong with the institution

There are as many Republicans who have been in as long. Bill Young was in 43 years. Thad Cochran's been in almost 40 as a congressman and senator. It just isn't the Dems.

I agree. I believe that a hard limit of 12 years total as an elected official in any level is more than enough for anyone.

Spend 2 years in congress and only serve one total term in the Senate. Spend eight years as a mayor and you are limited to four years in the State or Federal Congress.

After leaving public service, banned from lobbing or taking ANY government job at any level for minimum of ten years. .

Yea, and ol’ Strom could have still won had he not stepped down to make way for Loveable Lindsey.
