EXCELLENT PROOF TERM LIMITS WORK

IF YOU WANT 'REAL' CHANGE, CHANGE THE WAY CONGRESS IS ALLOWED TO DO BUSINESS AS USUAL...

Many American voters wonder why we have the SAME-OLD-CRAP coming out of our Congress. Just do the simple math...

Despite stupid voters, Congressional term limits would be a natural way for congress to purge itself of CRAP.

TERM LIMITS FOR CONGRESS WOULD WORK (JUST LOOK HOW IT IS FORCING OBAMA OUT)

So, you admit Democracy is a total failure.

Good for you.

Term limits for at least federal politicians would be a good idea IMHO. 2 terms and that's it, POTUS on down.

Term limits are awful. See what it's done in California. Read this: Ezra Klein - The folly of term limits

The bad part about having term limits in congress is that it will force out good politician like Maxine Waters & Elijah Cummings along with the bad politicians that need to go..

We already have term limits. It's called an election!

Yep here in California we hae term limits for all elected state officials. Now the lobbyists and special interests have more influence than ever, to the point where they are not only writing many of the laws, but are providing their stooges aka state legislators, with the talking points and questions to ask in the committee hearings for those laws that the self same lobbyists wrote.

There is a condo association in a western suburb of Chicago. Its governing documents restricted the number of consecutive terms a board member could serve as president.

The owenership elects the board and the board elects the president. No one had any interest in being president and the sitting president was unable to continue to serve and comply with the declaration. What's a condo association to do?

The outgoing president nominated his dog. The owners elected the dog. The board elected the dog president. Given the dog was unable to run a meeting, the VP ( the former President) did.

Term limits sometimes have unexpected consequences.
