Once I read a column that noted how politicians who become senators, representatives, governors and big-city mayors have 14 years to get elected as president or vice-president, before people get tired of having them around. For Biden, that “due date” passed in 1986, two years before his first presidential run.
That’s an interesting study. I got approached by one of the two major parties years ago, to consider running for a House seat. I studied what it would take to mount that kind of campaign (I had already run for local office) and in the end decided it wasn’t for me. For one thing it takes a small army of attorneys to make sure you are adhering to all the campaign laws. But mostly I did NOT want that kind of power to turn me into something I wasn’t meant to be. There should definitely be term limits, four at most in the House and two in the Senate. Serving in office should be a sacred trust, not a lifetime career.
