A term limit is a law that limits the amount of time a political representative may hold an elected office. In the U.S. the office of the President is restricted to two four year terms. There are currently no term limits for Congressional terms but various states and cities have enacted term limits for their elected officials at the local level.
Allow states and districts to choose the term limits on their representatives.

That's a double edged sword, if you make the term too short they'll have to be even more corrupt to scam what ever they can from American tax payers. If you leave them in too long they can take their time screwing everyone. I just think they should be bi-annually audited by independent parties and the auditing company has to change each time. If the books and emails are missing or out of order the Congress member will have to pay for the extra time it takes to find those items. If too much is missing they would have to step down and be held under house arrest until the matter is resolved.
No, but I am in favor of barring anyone over the age of 80 from serving in congressional positions
Abolish congress and the United States
No, but there should be a term limit for Speaker of the House
No, but allow states to decide whether or not to set limits for their own representatives and senators
Yes, term limits for the Senate but not the the House
Yes but after a long stretch of time
No, but one shouldn't be able to serve for so long consecutively
Only term limit leadership positions like Speaker of the House or Minority Leader
YES! Term limits, AND pay should be reduced /end with service (no long making that salary for life) also should be required to recieve the same quality of medical treatment as their constituents!
Depending on how well the members are doing.
Yes, as well as Senate
Deleted5mos
No, but members of Congress (both the House and the Senate) should have 4 year terms, and these terms should start at the same as those of the President.
Yes, but longer terms than a presidential one
Yes, but it should be a long period of time as officials gain experience over time
Yes, this will allow for more ideas and encourage other citizens to make thier voices heard and encourage them to run for political office.
Yes, For the senate but not the house
Yes, every government position besides the Supreme Court, should have term limits.
No, but decrease congressional salaries and retirement benefits
Term limits on literally all branches of government.
@9QXZ4Y8Republican10mos
All members of Congress should be limited in terms - say 8 years in House and 12 in the Senate. All members of Congress shoud have to complete 20 ears of service to draw any retirement and medical benefits
@9QWS98CConstitution10mos
No, but there should be no congress as well
there should be no government.
I don't feel I have enough knowledge on the subject to make a solid opinion
@Sarah-GehoVeteran12mos
Yes, but only a consecutive term limit.
I am uneducated on this topic.
There should be term limits on every elected position.
@9NDCYG7Independent12mos
There should be term limits. A Representative term should be 3 years to promote efficiency with a 3 term limit. And a Senate term should be 6 years with a 2 term limit. Decrease salary and benefits after service.
@9N9JC5WRepublican12mos
12 years in each chamber
Yes, and their requirement benefits should be the same as any other Federal employee that worked the same number of years
No term limits but they should have a limit on the number of years they should be limited in the number of years they can serve an a committee or a speaker etc.
@9MYF7DCIndependent12mos
Congress was initially created as an unpaid, voluntary service to our country. 15 year term limits, decreased salary, and use of the same public healthcare of our citizens- which all end upon the end of their term. No salary and Healthcare for life.
To a certain extent yeah
@9MTG8TQRepublican12mos
For senators, maybe, but only if the length of their term were increased.
Allow members of government to hold other positions, but not the same beyond a term limit
No, and get rid of term limits on the President.
People should be allowed to serve as many terms as they want but I think that their age should be limited because we don't need 90-year-olds as members of Congress.
No, but freeze their salary and decrease their retirement benefits.
No, but decrease salaries some and crack down on how they all seem to become millionaires as public servants. Also no laws or health insurance for everyone except them.
Yes, limit terms of both Congress and Senate and decrease their salary and their retirement benefits.
Yes, we should add term limits, but unlike presidential terms, the members of congress can serve two presidential terms continuously(does not have to be the same president) then will have to skip atleast one term before sunning for a seat again.
@9LTPHSQConstitution12mos
Yes, and add staff and lobbyists to the term limit system as well
No, but their compensation and benefits should be decreased and have a performance-based component
decrease their salary to that of the average american worker, and reduce their retirement benefits
No, they’ll just treat the job as a stepping stone to a lobbying position. Reform the system on the outside.
@9KN6X3LLibertarian12mos
Decrease their pay and power they will limit their own terms
