In order to avoid corruption in the Presidency and the takeover of a dictator term limits were put in place to ensure no person held office for more then eight years. This limit only looks at half of the picture. We still have corrupt individuals in Congress who do not care about the interests of the American people. Despite this they somehow get voted in again and again, some incumbents being members of Congress for nearly their whole lives. Not only that but the members of Congress in it's current state are constantly planning for reelection. This causes them to put personal interests in order to get reelected ahead of doing what is right for the country. It is for all these reasons and more that we must have term limits. Not to mention 75% of Americans want them.
