We don’t need an amendent...geesh.
Agreed...for the same reasons I'm not happy with most term limit proposals...Any person meeting the minimal Constitution requirements to run for office should be able to, and likewise, I as a voter should be able to vote for, and ultimately elect any person I feel id best qualifed. Term limits and the proposed "blood line" amendment inhibit the freedom of candidates and voters alike.
Having said that, the problem lies with the political awarenes of the electorate and the emphasis (or lack thereof) placed on responible citizenship. In a free, democratic republic, we should, for better or worse, get the government we elect. If an eminently qualified individual of the highest moral character wants to run for a congressional seat or the White House, and I want to vote for them, it's silly to have laws that prohibit them and me from doing so. The problem lies on the other side of the equation, and that is in the voting public's ability to discern who are the eminently qualified candidates. A smart constituency will emplace place term limits on any incumbent when warranted.
