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.
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.

Yes, but in the form of a limit on consecutive terms
@9RJBQ24Republican5 days

Yes, every government position besides the Supreme Court, should have term limits.
Term limits on literally all branches of government.
No but put term limits on the senate minority and majority leaders and the speaker of tye house and the house minority leader
No, but there should be an maximum age.
No, but decrease congressional salaries and retirement benefits
Yes it will allow new ideas.
There should be a term limit for all public offices. Many say that a term limit is our vote. While that may be true, what happens when the candidates are worthless and neither fulfills their duty or responsibility? When you have a career politician who has accomplished absolutely nothing in his or her time in their seat, what exactly is your vote doing? Nothing towards the betterment of our country, merely lining the pocket of the re-elected person for years on end.
Yes to term limits but long enough to be effective. Too little term limits hinders progress. Government works very slowly.
No, but decrease salary and benefits or require them to work more days.
Absolutely, positively, beyond any shadow of a doubt....YES!
Term limits are meaningless unless gerrymandering and voter suppression are eliminated
Yes to term limits, but no to paying for a congressional retirement package when a representative is only on their 40s or 50s.
No but there should be more candidates on ballots
I am uneducated on this issue.
Yes, But they should be allowed to campaign for different districts
No, we already have term limits that are called “elections” and decrease their salary and retirement benefits
Yes, if the president has term limits so should congress.
No but benefits should be lessened. Medical should be no better than that provided in medi-care and pensions should have caps and limited to one rather than for each office they have held.
Yes, I believe there should be terms that each individual can serve, but allow the seniors mentor to help with any issues and allow them to become better representatives.
Yes, once they have done their 8 years as president, vice president, senator, governor, etc they should NOT be allowed to run anymore.
Yes, decrease their salary and benefits, outlaw all money and incentives in lobbying, make elections publicly (and transparantly) funded and implement a yearly public audit (with criminal charges applied proportionally for any criminal misconduct they reveal) help ensure accountability.
Yes, term limit to a set # after which a candidate must set out a # of elections and then may run again.
No, but increase the seats that are up for re-election to one-half instead of one-third
No, and abolish congress
Yes, reduce salary and remove retirement benefits altogether. Public office should not receive publicly funded retirement programs.
Yes, but more than two (as there surely is experience gained in serving many years) and possibly expand the terms so there isn’t a constant election cycle
I'm not opposed to term limits, but that won't solve any corruption problems. If it would, the President would never be corrupt.
Yes and repeal the 17th Amendment
Congress should be abolished and the power of it passed to the president.
they should be limited to 2 terms in a row but not to any lifetime limits
Yes. No just for the House, but the Senate, as well.
Yes. Cut their salary and benefits as well and no grandfather clause so everyone currently serving must leave off at the end of their limit.
yes, because politicians are not meant to serve forever. after a while views and people change.
2 terms for Senators, 5 terms for Representatives. No retirement benefits for single term congressmen
Yes, and once they have done their 8 years as president, vice president, senator, governor, etc, they should not be allowed to run anymore.
I’m not educated on this subject
No age limits should be increased to 40 and 45. Get some life experience before you make decisions for people
Yes, and the structure and function of both houses of Congress (especially the Senate) should be seriously reformed.
Yes, and remove their retirement benefits.
I don't think that politicians should hold an elected office for life or if they are corrupt, but I think that people should be able to reelect them if they want.
No, but we should overhaul campaign finance laws and limit corporate influence on elections.
YES, this should also be an unpaid position
We should have a multi-party system that has member elected from multimember districts and members should be elected proportionally.
Not informed enough to make an opinion.
No, reform redistricting to eliminate gerrymandering instead.
