The bane of free men has always been politics and those earn their living in that "profession."
Ya know, I was never much of a fan of term-limits because I always had this pie-in-the-sky notion that maybe some particular politicians just had a natural talent for governance and shouldn't be limited if they were truly serving the common good, and that any 'change' could be made at the voting booth by We the People. That notion has mottled profoundly in my eyes.
Human nature, in relation to politics and power, just is what it is. Our Founder's got it right the first time, as George Washington 'limited' himself to two terms and that same tradition continued until FDR blew it right out of the water with 4 (count 'em FOUR!) elected terms to office, until a Constitutional Amendment was invoked limiting POTUS back to two terms.
I never thought that I'd ever say this, but Congress should be limited too, given all the outrageous abuses of power which individual members have wreaked upon We the People over the years and decades ... there is no reason for any member of Congress to be a 'career politician' ... none whatsoever ... they lose a complete concept of street level Americans while basking in the vaunted halls of DC.
