Sorry, you didn’t convince me.

Well, if you feel that it is okay to deny me the representation that I feel is best for my interests based on some arbitrary criteria, then I doubt seriously if we can agree on anything. Term limits were, are, and always will be anathema to free choice of representation in our republic. It was wrong to allow them for the President. It is just as wrong to introduce them for the Senate / House. It denies the people / state the representation they want.

FWIW - if we limit the terms, the party will STILL reserve the right to anoint a follower so the system remains as corrupt as it is now. And, IIRC, the problem that was to be solved by the 17th was NOT that Senators were serving too long, but that states were going without representation / there was too much vote buying. Term Limits will not resolve that problem.

There is no right to be a rep, senator, prez, etc.

If experience shows that the servants of the people soon take on the attributes of masters, then reason compels us to limit their terms in office.

It is an idea, if you feel it is ok to deny me the basic right to express ideas, maybe you would be happier living in North Korea.
