I don't know if Delay has actually done anything illegal or not. If he did play golf in Scotland and paid the bills with a lobbyist credit card that is just plan stupid in todays political environment. (Its stupid even if he reimbursed the lobbyist!) Also it's a display of arrogance that I more associate with democrats, e.g. how many of his constituents play golf in Scotland ? This is why we need term limits for Congress. Its very unfortunate the two term limit organizations couldn't put their egos aside and keep the pressure on the, then Gingrich led Congress. I also remember that Gingrich and Armey were not particularly enthusiastic supporters of term limits.( I really felt betrayed by Gingrich & Armey as well as by the term limit organizations on this issue!)
I think a Congress should be limited to 6 consecutive terms (12 yrs) a decade plus in Congress should be enough !
Senators should be limited to two consecutive terms (12yrs). As a compromise I would say a Congressman/woman must sit out of Congress 4 years & a senator 6 years before they return.
Also another reform that would be a great improvement would be the repeal of the amendment that provides the direct election of Senators. It would again make the Senators more responsive to their state's needs and less to a national party agenda.
