Old ideas in politics need terms

[Aegon]

There's been a significant amount of research on the effects of term limits on legislators, and the general conclusion is that it is not a good idea. If they are unable to be re-elected, then they won't have an insensitive to serve the interests of their constituents. If you think the level of influence by corporations and lobbyists is bad now, then whew, imagine when they have no reason to listen to the people at all? Not to mention that, with term limits, being a Congressman is no longer a career, which means they will be more focused on securing a certain position after their term ends, rather than spending their time doing their job.
