It has been reported that 82% of Americans support term limits – this includes 76% of Democrats, 89% of Republicans, and 83% of Independents.
I personally think that with term limits there would be no more squatting in an office for 30, 40 or 50 years. No way did the framers of the US Constitution intend to have career politicians. I bet they wanted people from all walks of life who could serve for a short period of time and come home to live under the laws they made. They wanted rotation in office and term limits would accomplish it. It would deliver fresh faces and ideas.
Washington is currently run in a top-down structure where seniority equals influence. Even if we vote in better members, they are still buried under the power of the leaders of the House and Senate.
I believe that right now members are only thinking about how to get re-elected and by pandering to special interests. They spend more time fundraising than doing their jobs. Term limits would change this culture and make members focused on solving problems.
Okay, now I can get off my soap box. |
