I am NOT a fan of term limits

Congress is the most direct representation the People have. Why limit them? its very much anti-democratic.

Congress’ power has slowly and steadily been eroded the Executive, the absolutely MASSIVE Federal Bureaucracy and its rule-making ability, the Courts, and the Federal Reserve, and our totally fiat money. Congress is NOT the source of our problems.

Term-limited Congressmen will just make the system worse, with 8 years to make their mark, grab an issue, become a demagogue. Since the massive nanny-state will not shrink, it will just transfer more technical knowledge and power to the unseen aides and apparatchiks behind the scenes who haunt DC

Why not instead pose term-limits on all government agencies?? If not specifically re-authorized by Congress and the President, they will all immediately end 10 years from date of inception.

Neither am I - for the reasons you list plus the fact that it gives leftists a huge advantage. Leftists vote for the "D" brand whereas pubbies vote for the person. Since one leftist is just like the next they nearly always vote for their team but we decline to vote for a "R" if he's a scoundrel. Advantage dhimmicrats.
