任期の制限は、政治的代表が選出されたオフィスを保持することができる時間の量を制限する法律です。米国では大統領のオフィスは2〜4年の任期に制限されています。議会の用語が、様々な状態および都市は地域レベルで彼らの当選者の任期制限を制定しているための任期制限はありません。

No. The voters should be able to put the same person in office over and over again as long as they are representing the majority. I see that you have a congressional district question and THAT is what is in need of the greatest reform measures.

Term limits should be set; however, if it is thought that there needs to be a certain amount of experience, extend the terms, but only allow them to serve the one or two limits. A life time of sitting in government leads to too much cronyism and corruption.

Whether or not there are term limits, the real issue is the fact that Congressional employees receive a pension for life, whether they serve one term or a full career. I think the benefits received post service should be like the military retiree and based on number of years served and, at a reduced monetary amount. The Congressional benefit system is totally out of line with the normal working industry who do not receive income unless they have contributed to a retirement plan and/or worked for 15 - 20 years with a company.

No, the American people need to understand that if they are unsatisfied with an elected officials performance they have a civic duty to try to vote that official out of office. Term limits are a passive aggressive way of saying to officials that the constituency doesn't like you.

Term limits tend to make politicians care less when they can't be re-elected. No limits means people can spend a lifetime in government and lose touch with real life.
I therefore favor mandatory one-term sabbaticals every two terms for members of congress.
