I can’t argue with anything you wrote in the last two posts to me.

It should not be too hard for people to see that if it is a good idea to limit a President, then it should be a good idea to limit Congressmen and Senators.

George Washington provided a great service by limiting himself to two terms. The great man’s EXAMPLE protected us until FDR’s 4th election to the Presidency. Thank goodness for human mortality, or FDR would still be President.

For some reason, we have not taken the next step and term limited Congressmen and Senators.

I pick number close to a decade because that seems to be the magic number of years in DC when “the good” become “the bad”.
