If the States are to reassert their soveriegnty, why should the persons they choose to represent them be limited in the number of terms they can do so? That would force states to change their representation against their interest.

It would eliminate the class of individuals who are professional politicians. You know, the ones who put their own interests ahead of the good of the state or nation.

Shouldn't the State Legislatures be the ones that determine whether this is true? I mean, we are doing this BECAUSE the States are being denied their rights to representation (according to original intent). Why should the Federal Government then be allowed to dictate how often a specific person is allowed to represent their State? If the Legislature is happy with the representation of the State's interests there should be no other limitation.
