One of the greatest grassroots movements alive today is term limits. People from a wide political spectrum want to see a limit on the number of terms elected officials can serve.
Presently, for US congress members, there are no limits on the number of terms they can serve; presidents can only serve for two, four-year terms. Our federal congressional representatives face a possible lifetime career in office. Accordingly, we, their constituents, lose influence over them over time.
There is a movement to make congressional term limits by amending the US Constitution. By limiting how long a representative or senator can serve in congress, voters can keep their elected officials accountable and trustworthy.
