Rep. Mick Mulvaney, Republican from South Carolina, says lawmakers shouldn’t be allowed to serve more than 24 years in Congress — and he has brought forth a bill to change the Constitution to reflect that limit.
Under his proposal, a lawmaker could serve 12 years maximum in the House. That same lawmaker could then make a run for the Senate, and serve up to another 12 years in that chamber — but then that’s it. Twenty-four years in Congress is all any individual could serve, he said, The Hill reported.
“Believe me, 24 years is more than enough time to serve in Washington,” Mr. Mulvaney said, in The Hill. “I actually pushed for much shorter terms but compromised at 12-plus-12 in order to gain the support of addition co-sponsors.”

That's a start.
I agree, but it will never happen!
NO - 4 years each andthen "hit the road Jack"
4 years means no time form dyfunctinional relationship with the money..gives time to focus on whats right not paid for
Spot on 8:33.
Limit terms to 4 years for ALL national, State and local offices.
It certainly would have had a positive effect on the severe crisis our nation faces with the Fraudulent president we have now.
long overdue...
12 is too long....
4 is better!
To me, they should be held accountable every single second, of every single day. No different than anybody who has a REAL job.
4 is perfect. If a delegate had only one chance to govern or make a difference they may actually do something.
