Politicians get elected and reelected telling us what we want to hear, and if smoke is what they're blowing, smoke is what we want. I have long resisted such proposals as term limits, etc, because they sounded like calls to retreat. That We the People couldn't be trusted to choose our own representatives. That we had to be saved from ourselves. Well, maybe that's just how simple We are...

I hear you, CPT Jack. I’ve been conflicted on that, too. But elected officials have name recognition and unfair position power over incumbents. Further, they have access that would land you and me in prison.
And the cap for me, Congress declared more than two terms for President allowed too much concentration of power. I think we are seeing too much concentration of power in Washington today and for the same reason.....they go there and never leave.

Originally there were term limits but our legislators voted to end term limits and created the monsters we deal with today. There isn't cooperation in our legislature its power and advantage in the majority versus the minority participants who get relatively nothing done.

My mistake I misread a term limit example. In May 1995, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5–4 in U.S. Term Limits, Inc. v. Thornton, 514 U.S. 779 (1995), that states cannot impose term limits upon their federal Representatives or Senators.
