5 Years is too long. It virtually BEGS for corruption to take over. Government at the elected level should NOT be a career.
I totally agree. I used to be against term limits, but that was back when I still naively believed that at least a few good men were there to uphold the original concept of “public service”. I don’t hold that belief anymore about any of them. The good men who would be an asset in public service and a servant to the people, wouldn’t be able to stomach the dirty tricks required to attain the office, and especially to stay in the office in the present political climate of double-dealing, shady ethics, questionable character, word-parsing or outright lying. They’d be flattened under the juggernaut.
