Term-inating Limits
My hubby, The Opinionated Fool, and I have just had another argument, Er, discussion, over congressional term limits.
He is dead set against them.
I am for them.
He says that every election is a term limit. If you don't want some idiot clown representing you in Congress anymore, don't re-elect them.
I say that once one of these ego maniacal liars becomes ensconced in a cushy job with lots of bennies, not to mention the prestige and the power, it becomes very difficult to dislodge them.
Think what Congress could accomplish if the people elected to represent us actually spent their time representing us instead of plotting their (endless) re-election campaigns and trying to secure their 'legacies'.
And here's a scary thought: one day someone might wonder why we have presidential term limits if we don't have congressional term limits?
