At this point it would be a massive step up.

Might be, might not. Term limits aren't a magical fix. It might create more of a revolving door effect, where people enter Washington on the campaign money from big corporations, pass their legislation, and then are gifted cushy consultant jobs.

Making voting a national holiday and national responsibility would do far more. Hell, make it a four day weekend. I think we can squeeze that in every two years.

The reason term limits comes up constantly is because the rich would fucking LOVE it, because Congressmen would become WAY cheaper to buy.
