Just voted. Only 5 votes so far, all for term limits.

BEYOND corruption, serial career criminal incumbents have used their elected offices to set up a privileged caste - a new aristocracy.

This is illustrated no better than their most recent attempt to set up a national health care program 80% of Americans don't want, a health care program which will result in reduced care for senior citizens, the disabled, and other target groups, WHILE INSULATING THEMSELVES from the consequences of such a program by being covered by their own special health benefits.

These serial career criminals need to be removed from office. There should be a two term limit in the House, a single term limit in the Senate, MINIMAL PAY, NO PENSIONS, and the same Medicare or Medicaid benefits us commoners will be getting.

Its time to clean out the House of Lords - each and every one of them regardless of political party.

GRIP = GET RID OF INCUMBENT POLITICIANS!!!!!!

There are some constitutional issues that apparently makes enacting congressional term limits impossible,

There should be term limits, but you have to amend the Constitution for that.

If you put term limits on Congress, you’ll have to put similar limits on the Congressional Staff that supports the Congress critters, else the Staffers will be the real power because they will be the ones with more experience in running things than the “newbie” Congress critters, who will turn to the Staffers because of their experience.

Not only term limits, the retirement package needs to be brought down to earth as well. Congress should not be a path to extreme wealth.

The need is to end all elections and choose all formerly elected (or appointed) govt positions via random lottery, ala jury duty.

Thus replacing the current corrupt and incompetent govt with one merely incompetent.

I support continued elections every two years, along with a 3 month term limit.
