“it’s called THE ARROGANCE OF POWER!”

Yes, however I disagree with term limits.

If someone “gets it” I don’t want them limited in how long they serve. This is where the sheeple fail us in electing these arrogant sob’s in time after time. It’s LACK of knowledge by the sheeple that allows these arrogant people to stay in office. The bigger problem is getting folks INVOLVED and SEEING WHO is NOT representing them on a DAILY basis - not just the more controversial issues.

my reason for wanting STRICT term limitations is that ALL of the "public servants" get ARROGANT after they've been in office & expect to stay FOREVER. in general they only "serve" themselves.

i desire a "citizen's congress", that will ACTUALLY serve the citizenry, rather than PREY on it.

IF the congress-critters HAD to leave office & live under the laws that they pass, they wouldn't be so quick to pass the laws.

furthermore, NOBODY is "irreplaceable". even my little district wouldn't run out of people, who are CAPABLE of serving 2- 6 years!

fwiw, IF my amendment passed, my home district would doubtless send a farmer or a small business owner to congress, as that is the kind of district that i hail from. (btw, if we could set the salary of the congressman/woman, we wouldn't let them starve BUT they wouldn't make 3-10 times what their "home folks" make.)
