Going to get a little patriotically political here.
I cannot believe I heard today that 80% of the people are in support of term limits. I'm sure they're actually in support of getting the bums out of Congress, but term limits is NOT the right answer anymore than robbing a bank to pay your personal debt is the right answer.
The Founding Fathers did not choose to put in term limits (even for president). We don't need to keep breaking the system they created trying to make it better -- especially by letting capricious public opinion set our course.
We already have the means of term limits: our votes.
The House was designed to be the People's house.... it should reflect the will of the people through elected representation. Each district will send who they vote to send and there should not be any artificial limitation put on who they send. If they want Nancy Pelosi to serve 148 years, let them have her.
However, one "fix" we put in that broke Congress was the 17th Amendment which provided for the direct election of Senators. The design was that the Senate was the State's house -- it would reflect the will of the state through appointed Senators. The people would have some say in the local election of their state assemblies and Governors, but the appointments would be made as the state saw fit. Again, no term limits were necessary. If the "will" of the state changed over time, the incumbents would not get a new term appointed to them. Popular vote within a state results in evil like Raphael Warnock getting elected in Georgia (just one example there are many).
It worked.
The same whiny cries of "unfair" that led to the 17th Amendment are the same sheet music used every four years about the wonderful Electoral College system.
So yes, there is a problem... but there are common sense, Constitution solutions. Instead of seeking "term limits" as a quick fix, fix the actual problem. Seek to repeal the 17th amendment.
Good day. :)
