The founding fathers never thought that being elected to the congress was a career choice, but rather a duty to serve ones nation.
The result of a lack of term limits, has been power brokering, corruption, cronyism, and unwillingness to produce solutions to the many problems effecting our nation for fear of losing the next election.
By enacting term limits of two, two year terms, those elected will not have an entire career to solve the issues, but only four years to effect change. Deadlines produce results.
