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.

not unless they want to be out of the office. why should someone have to stop doing something they love to run again, and possibly not get elected?

Allow states and districts to choose the term limits on their representatives.

 @94HXM8R from Virginia  answered…2yrs2Y

No, but the percentage of votes required to win the election should be raised each time

Yes, politics were not meant to be a lifetime job. Term limits allow Congress to change as the country changes. We need less politicians in Congress, and more doctors, lawyers, businessmen, craftsmen, etc. in Congress. This way, we get the diversity we really need in politics, diversity of thought.
