The Founding Fathers and the Framers of the Constitution believed in “citizen legislators”. Not career politicians. The 22nd amendment altered the Constitution and placed limitations on anyone running for POTUS.

I don’t agree. People should be free to choose who they want to represent them in government.

Citizen Legislator doesn’t mean you can’t choose who you want. In the last 100 years or so career politicians have increased. From the the days of 2 terms maximum to 5 terms average. With that you have increased corruption and special interest influence.

Terms limits are needed.

How do you like my other reforms? I don't think the American public is serious about stopping corruption and really straightening out Congress.
