Petition Congress to introduce legislation creating TERM LIMITS in the United States Congress.

Created by M.B. on September 29, 2011

Congressional terms should be limited to no more than 3 terms of 2 years in the U.S. House and no more than 2 terms of 6 years in the U.S. Senate. This would...

2. Reduce the power of bureaucracy in Washington.
3. Breaks ties to special interests, lobbyists.
4. Improve tendency to vote on principle.
5. Dramatically speed up the legislative process.
6. Encourage lower taxes, smaller government, greater voter participation in elections.
7. Downgrade seniority and favor meritocracy.
8. Create a natural reduction in wasteful federal spending.
9. Increases competition and encourage new challengers.
10. Keep government more in touch with we the people.
