Term limits for Congress

Created by M.E. on November 15, 2012

Just like the president of the United States, congress should also have term limits put into place.

Congress should be a brief civic duty and not a career

This will
- break the ties of special interests
- introduce new idea and fresh thinking
- increase completion among the candidates
- minimize incentives for reelections (pork barrel spending)
- Improves tendency to vote on principle
- returns the power to the citizens

People in Washington should serve for a limited period of time and then go home and get a job in the economy for which they just legislated.
