I'd have to be drunk to listen to that nonsense. I don't blame anyone for doing it.

The executive branch term limits are in the constitution, which takes a bit more than just the legislative branch passing a law. Prior to the 22nd Amendment presidents had just traditionally only served for 2 terms since that's all that Washington served for, until FDR got elected 4 times.

It'd probably take another constitutional amendment to term limit the legislative branch.

All 3 branches should be term limited or none of them should be term limited.

There should be no term limits in the House. This is the representation for people of a certain district. It is their voice. If they like that voice, they have a right to have them represent them as long as they choose.

All 3 should be term limited. 12 years for everybody. 3 presidential terms, 2 senatorial terms, 6 congressional terms and one 12 year judicial term.

I'd just make it simple. No change in the current terms...but... You have a max. of 24 years to serve as an elected offcial in the branches of government...period.

I really don't care if they move around. Being able to stay in politics for 40+ years serving only 12 years in each position usually means that you are good at your job and the people trust you in other positions. Force some of these 24+ year congressman to run for other positions like Senator, Gov or President and they won't do so well.
