Problem is...the only people who can make term limits on Congress is...Congress. :(

They sure jumped right to it on making term limits for Presidents after Roosevelt won 4 times.
But not for themselves of course. :(

I'm not sure it will ever happen. But I do believe that it would be a great start to getting our govt. under control again.

The Founding Fathers envisioned CITIZENS running the country. Not politicians. Things devolved real fast of course...and in 2017 that's just a pipe dream.
Trump is the first "citizen" President of my lifetime. Probably the last by the time they get done with him. :(

But the way our govt. was originally planned...you might have already served a term as "Senator Ruff" and I might have already been "Representative Robbie".

The Founding Fathers were sure that people would want to get back to their lives and making money for their families and would only "sacrifice' a term or two to "serve" the nation.

Instead we have these leaches in D.C. who NEVER have a real job and spend their entire lives getting rich in politics.
It's disgusting.

well, let´s look a bit on the possible consequences of this idea:

if you limit time in congress menas, that the congress member already know from the start on that he have a limited time for take care himself.

so i assume, that everyone who get this one-time-chance will use it for his own prosperity, or do you think that will not happen?

on the other hand it would lead to the fact, that even a "good one" will not be there forever no matter how good he was.
if there is not a "good one" what can follow him you have again a desaster.

democrathy gives already every few years the chance that someone who does not do his job can be replaced - but THIS is not happening - and THERE is the problem.

so let´s discuss how that can be changed.
