sponsor and support term limits for all members of Congress.

Created by G.N. on December 08, 2011

Members of Congress should be required to follow the same term limits as the Presidency (i.e. 2 consecutive terms). After serving two terms, a person may skip a single term and run again, but may not serve for more than 8 consecutive years, unless no opposing candidate runs for the office. All single terms should be set at 4 years. Elections should be staggered to avoid complete disruption of the government process. For example:

1st Year: Election of President/Vice-President
2nd Year: Election of Senate
3rd Year: Election of 1/2 of House of Representatives
4th Year: Election of other 1/2 of House of Representatives.

By enacting term limits, we will help ensure fresh ideas and people are introduced into the political process.
