Term Limits: Good for the People, Good for Politicians<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every few years, you\u2019ll hear people discuss the idea of term limits, but the rumblings never amount to much. However, with the rise of Donald Trump — a political outsider — many on both sides of the party line are more interested than ever in sacking career politicians and introducing fresh faces to Washington.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Sad State of Washington<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

John Adams once famously said, \u201cWithout term limits every man in power becomes a ravenous beast of prey.\u201d Little did he know just how true these words would ring even centuries later.<\/em><\/p>\n

At one point, just a couple of years ago, there were 36 senators<\/a> who had been in elected office for more than 30 years. Of the 100 senators in Washington at the time, only 10 had a business background. Of these 10 senators, most had been in office longer than they were in business. Perhaps this could explain why Congress\u2019 approval rating has hovered between 10 and 20 percent for so long.<\/em><\/p>\n

Currently, there are no term limits for vice presidents, representatives, senators, and Supreme Court justices. On the state level, there are still 14 states that don\u2019t have strict term limits for their governors.<\/em><\/p>\n
