Being a member of Congress was never supposed to be a lifetime employment. But for many, that’s what it’s become.
And even those who don’t spend decades in Congress—the average member of Congress serves more than nine years—do the next best thing and often become lobbyists so they can keep paddling in the swamp.
President Trump supports, as do I, term limits for Congress to “clean up the corruption and special interest collusion in Washington, D.C.,” as well as a five-year ban before members of the executive branch and members of Congress can be employed as lobbyists. Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, however, has declared that term-limit proposals are dead on arrival: “I would say we have term limits now,” Mr. McConnell told reporters. “They’re called elections. And it will not be on the agenda in the Senate.”

100% correct. Voters are blind as they pick people to represent them. They act on impulse,false hope, recommendations from others who don't know the issues,lack of familiarity of issues themselves,and last but NOT LEAST, they know they've voted for the same candidates before yet there's been NO significant breakthroughs even on the issues they understand and champion. Face it folks, politics is cash based. If it weren't, the very ones who try so hard for re-election wouldn't. Yet the average voter won't realize the best remedy for do nothing politicians is electorate based sterilization taking into consideration how long and entrenched these career politicians have lasted. NO POLITICIAN is going to vote for term limits SO it's up to us the voter to impose them for the good of all. I wouldn't vote for Christ more than two terms and that's a fact. The best example I can muster now is Jim Mathias. He's the reason Wicomico County DOESN'T have an elected school board NOW. Bob Aswell....Realist
