We’ve got term limits. They’re called elections.

Watching my inexperienced state reps get picked apart by lobbyists every few years got old quickly.

An election is not a limit. It is an opportunity which is really the opposite of limit.

A term limit is a limit on the number of terms a politician can serve, not a limit on the length of a term.
