Term Limits Takes First Step
This blog by Steve starts to make the case for term limits. I do not agree with term limits, but I do think it is great food for thought. Take a read.
For those maintaining that we should have term limits in Congress, a Constitutional Amendment has been proposed in the Senate. We'll have to see if get a hearing or moves along from here.
Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina and 10 other Republican Senators have proposed limits of 6 years for Representatives (3 terms of 2 years) and 12 years for Senators (2 terms of 6 years). Presumably a person could still serve in both bodies for the maximum proposed.
Originally people served a few years and then went back home to pursue their family or business. Sometime over the pass 60 years or so, serving in Congress became a lifetime career. There have been many people serving more than 30 years each.
It is expected that a companion bill will be introduced in the House.
This may not be a perfect solution, but one poll indicates that 78% of Americans support Congressional term limits.
