I have long felt that term limits should be enacted. While some in Congress do worthwhile work, many spend too much of their time and franking privileges to ensure they remain in office. Many in the districts do not vote or just vote for the incumbent. Automatic! This should stop. Congress often opines about accountability elsewhere, but where is accountability for their actions, or lack thereof, the those they represent.
Apathy of the US voter is why we don’t have term limits every 2 & 6 years for the Congress. A less engaged population would be the result of term limits not a more engaged and educated population. if you understand how DC works you would realize that the “Aides” Congressman hire virtually run DC and the Congressman are the conduit to vote accordingly. Congressman have NO idea how to navigate the halls of Congress physically or procedurally. And Congressional Aides don’t not get re-elected they just rehired to serve the next victim. What we need is money limits and give Congress XXX dollars a year to run their offices and if they take 1 penny of goods and service that you and I pay full freight they are terminated and replaced immediately, and prosecuted if criminal activity is involved. The DC Aides will not be setting up meetings with high level lobbyist donors and getting a commission on the side to do so. Think people it is not bad people elected to congress, it is the pedaling of influence that is the problem
