You are just being difficult!

These elected officials and their staff WORK FOR THE PEOPLE!!!

They call it public service - let them put their money where their mouths are.

Aides are *interns learning on the job*. If they are truly dedicated to public service - they will have enough experience to run for office on their own merits...or get a real job.

I am not just being difficult, I’m explaining what the unintended consequences of term limits would be. It would be a massive power shift toward unelected and unaccountable people who have decades of experience gaming the system.

We have a perfectly good way to remove bad Congressmen from Congress. The fact that the electorate doesn’t do so is more a reflection of the American people than anything else. We are getting the Congress we deserve as a people.

Term limits will just make it worse.
