A term is already limited to 2 years (House) and 6 years (Senate).
Limiting the number of terms is contrary to liberty. Amendment 22 should be repealed.
Furthermore -- as already noted -- when a Party Machine can replace Drone A with Drone B, nothing changes except the Putz's name.

"Off goes the head of the king, and tyranny gives way to freedom. The change seems abysmal. Then, bit by bit, the face of freedom hardens, and by and by it is the old face of tyranny. Then another cycle, and another. But under the play of all these opposites there is something fundamental and permanent the basic delusion that men may be governed and yet be free."

The 90+ reelection rate would be eliminated if they could only be in the house for a few terms and the Senate for a few terms, no ability to run again ... kinda like how the President has at best 2 terms and then it's over, no matter how popular he may be at the time!!!--

- There are term limits. There is also a 90%+ re-election rate ...
- The problem THEIR is the Party Machines -- interchange Candidate A for Candidate B for Candidate C.
- Seems to me that were Government incapable of providing advantages, there would be no power to wield and it would not matter who was in Congress.

- "We must remember that the principal instrument of government is coercion and that our government officials are no more moral, omnipotent, nor omniscient than are any of the rest of us. Once we understand the basic principles which must be observed if freedom is to be safeguarded against government, we may become more hesitant in turning our personal problems and responsibilities over to that agency of coercion, with its insatiable appetite for power." - W. C. Mullendore

- I know!!! The problems we have now did not start the day the current President was elected ... the bigger problem is Congress, term limits and no salaries would be a start!!!
