Institute maximum term number of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives to stop political corruption.

Created by V.T. on September 23, 2011

The U.S. Congress remains (since the Thornton decision of 1995) without electoral limits. This allows congressmen to stay in the office until they don't get re-elected. However, the longer they are in the office the harder they are to get removed from there. That is because elections are all about advertisement and the more money a congressman has the bigger the chance of him being re-elected.

This would not be a problem until congressmen stop working for the people who elected them and start working for re-election. Lobbying, bribery and internal agreements between congressmen happen so that they affirm their place in congress.

For People, not for money.
