Yes, so long as the “in the aggregate,” no one can serve more than twelve years combining their House and Senate “service.” So they will not be able to serve 12 years on one body and another 12 in the other.

In which case the pension program needs to be eliminated as well.

I agree with the Senate terms and would rather see (4) two year terms for the House. But it is a great idea.

House members are 2-year terms and should stay that way. They are the most accountable to the people.

I’d rather see the Senate changed to 4 year terms.

House is a two year term - we should consider one yr so we can kick them when they tick us off - that or recall ability
