Term limits wouldn’t be needed if we did away with Washington DC. It should be a meeting place once or twice a year (State of the Union address and one or two emergency sessions). The rest of the time senators and congressmen should work from home. They would then have to face their constituents daily and have to live under the laws they pass. Also would make the lobbyist jobs harder and more costly.
That’s a great idea, and how it was supposed to be in the first place. We were supposed to have public servants, not career politicians. And it could only be positive to make government not only smaller, but more local.
Term limits have not solved the problem in California.
I used to think they were a solution. I do not anymore.
We need more effective ways of limiting government power.
