Created by C.G. on February 06, 2015

i believe that politicians are too far away from the real life of being a normal citizen to make good judgements on our needs. There are terms for Presidents; same should be for congress.

Term limits date back to the American Revolution. The council of 500 in ancient Athens rotated its entire membership annually. The ancient Roman Republic featured a system of elected magistrates—who served a single term of one year, with reelection to the same magistracy forbidden for ten years. According to historian Garrett Fagan, office holding in the Roman Republic was based on "limited tenure of office" which ensured that "authority circulated frequently", helping to prevent corruption. We need to lessen corruption by forcing limits to time To SERVE!
