This is a tricky one...how in the world do you get congress to pass term limits on themselves?
Simple if it is really important, vote their asses out after you think they have been in too long. The people always have the ability to set term limits both in primaries and in generals.
Yes, impose term limits on House representatives--five terms would be fine.
Repeal the 17th Amendment (yeah, right) and return the appointment of U.S. Senators back to the legislatures. Term limits (or no term limits) could be determined by state legislators, thus increasing the relevance of state politics in relationship to the federal government.
Or simply enacting term limits on Senators could suffice, too, I suppose. Two six-year terms maximum.
God, can you imagine if such a thing were implemented and applied to any Senate race in 2014 and onward? Phasing out every Senator elected between 1974 and 2006?
Goodbye Patrick Leahy, Carl Levin, Orin Hatch, Max Baucus, Mitch McConnell, John McCain, Barbara Mikulski, Barbara Boxer, Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer, Diane Feinstein, Lindsey Graham, Frank Lautenberg, etc., ad nauseum.

Direct election of Senators was by far the dumbest thing done. We went from America to Amerika.

I'd like to see term limits, then fossils could not live their entire lives in politics, telling all of us how to live our lives, and spending our hard earned money to enrich themselves and their cronies.

Agreed. The real criminals are in the Senate. Limit their terms, as well as the POTUS, to one term. Demand that all campaign funds be returned to the feds.
These guys "retire" with tens of million of $ (sometimes hundreds of millions, like one of our state senators).
The politicians look at "serving" as a means of gaining wealth, with the real money in the Senate. Let's take back the government, AS CITIZENS, and throw the self serving, career politicians OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!
