Term limits is the second stupidest idea to be put forward to get control of government.
Think for a second.
What power will the entrenched beauracracy pick up if term limits are put into place?
What about the unelected and unaccountable staffers that run Congress?
A freshman Congressman is like a lost little puppy for months in the maze that is Congress and Congressional rules.
We already have a very effective system for controlling our Congressmen: elections.
No Congressman can serve more than 2 years without convincing voters to send him back for another terms. If the American voter is too stupid or lazy to use this system to remove a corrupt politician, term limits are not going to help.
***What about the unelected and unaccountable staffers that run Congress?***
I happen to agree whole-heartedly with your concern.
Here’s another stupid rule: No staffer should be paid more than minimum wage and be required to leave their position at the end of the sponsor/legislator’s term. No staffer may be hired unless they can pass a Constitutional competency exam.
