Cosmic stupidity! We’ve always had term limits...its called voting. If the electorate is too stupid/lazy/apathetic to vote why do you think forced term limits will yield a better result? That and why would we trust the corrupt lot in DC now to write such a bill? Theres no substitute for being well informed and active in the political process. If you cant manage that then prepare for complete servitude.

But a term limit means a politician can only run so many times.

Respectfully, I do not agree.

It is not "stupidity" to realize that some good people enter Congress, and are slowly overtaken by the dark forces. Some of the best reasons for term limits are John McCain and John Boehner. Initially probably fine folks, but they eventually became trained by the liberal media on what it takes to get good ink (and preserve seat), and then there is that whole seductive effect of power thingie.

IIRC, it was term limits that removed an uber corrupt Willie Brown from the California legislature.

One last comment.......You are incorrect in your first sentence. If the POTUS was NOT term limited...we would have had Clinton again. Pretty much a no brainer. To name just one.

The general public is STUPID, and will remain STUPID. They aren't "informed" nor "active" in the political process.

Most can't freeking tell you who the VP is...let alone their two Senators.

Term Limits are needed.
