Implement Term Limits for both Senators and Congressman.

The Founding Fathers of our country never intended politics to become a lifetime career for any individual. The idea was that everyday citizens living in the United States, who knew first hand the issues facing us, would serve Congress for an allotted amount of time. When their time was up, they would return to their communities and live under the laws they had enacted. As one “Citizen Representative” stepped down, a new one would enter Congress. Today, we use the term “Career Politician” to describe what is happening in Congress. There are no laws that say a member of Congress can only serve a certain amount of terms. Congress members are staying in office for years because of the pay raises, health and retirement benefits, and some say, the intoxication of power.
