piggyback to the electoral college post. Most of my life believed that the ballot box was the best way to limit terms in politics. There is so much concentration of power {money} now a days that I have went 180 and now think we must have term limits. The founders were genius but their idea of a small limited gov with representatives who served a few weeks in congress then went home to their real jobs has been so raped that we have to change imho.

I agree, mc, but it would have to be by Constitutional Amendment.  There's no way those greedy scumbags would give up the gravy train.

Absolutely, we need term limits.  The career politicians need to go, as well as dual  passports.

Terms are best limited at the voting booth by informed voters...people need to pay attention to the world around them.

The best argument against democracy is a discussion with the average voter.
