People argue that there are already term limits because people don’t have to vote them in. But incumbency brings so many election advantages, so how about “Term-cations” where there can be only so many CONSECUTIVE terms served and then you have to stay away during one election cycle to give the new people a fair and equal shot at it? Then they could run again after that. And their retirements should be capped.
“And their retirements should be capped.”
Just having retirement plans in and of itself creates and reinforces the idea of a political ruling class.
Retirement plans should be eliminated for both elected officials and their ‘staffer’ hanger ons if we truely want to re-establish a responsive and responsible government.
Get rid of the ‘pros’ and we’ll get back to closer to what the Founders intended. Governance of, by, and for the People.
