A 6 year term limit would just leave them to do as they wished. Maybe if we had a 12 or 18 year term limit, that would work, but definetely not a 6. I agree with Sailorcurt.

These a-holes job from position to position -- some that they don't come even close to the qualifications other than that they had experience running for office. You can never get rid of these people with or without term limits. The problem with term limits is that they use their last term to look for their next political job.

If they never have to worry about re-election, why should they care what the voters think? Term limits would exponentially increase the empty campaign promises that would never be fulfilled and decrease the accountability of our representatives to their employers.

The unfortunate thing about corruption in politics is the people who legislate are the most corrupt. Expecting congress to do the right thing is like asking the rich to stop being rich - it ain't gonna happen. We need to hand them their asses next election and put an end to this nonsense.
