Create Term Limits for the United States Congress

Created by M.A. on January 10, 2013

Create a lifetime term limit for the United States Congress. Limit Congressional terms to no more than six lifetime two-year terms for the Federal House of Representatives and two six-year terms for the United States Senate. Term limits are a vital political reform that would bring new perspectives to Congress, mandate frequent legislative turnover, and diminish incentives for wasteful election-related Federal spending that currently flourish in a careerist congressional culture. The term limits that were enacted with the passing of the 22nd Amendment system has proven to be an effective tool for managing the Office of the President of the United States, surely the enactment of similar measures for the United States Congress would be equally effective.
