Do we want to keep careerism in our elected officials?

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.
