Does Congress and the Senate need term limits?

Question

Our elected officials have made it crystal clear that maintaining their personal foreign business investments is more important than serving the people who they are supposed to be representing. Democrats and RINOs especially who have business relationships in Ukraine were, unsurprisingly, the first to support the massive spending bill for Ukraine. "War is bad, unless we get a big profit cut out of it" so sayeth the warmongers like Pelosi, Sanders, Romney and all the anti-American career politicians who make these spending laws a reality.

Does Congress and the Senate need term limits?

I agree term limits is the most important thing then we don't have this partisan bickering. Then we will not have the royalty of each party. I also think they need to take away their pensions. I've seen people come into the system honest to their values. By the time they leave the system their multimillionaires or more. Where did they get their funds from not from their typical paycheck, or the books that they write.

Proof you don't know anything. Representatives and Senators have no limits on terms. Six year terms for senators with no limits to how many times you can be reelected. Same for the representatives except its every two years. Next time actually look up your facts before making yourself look like someone who should have beaten with a barbed hammer at birth.

And also, Justices don't need term limits because they don't make or approve laws. They only verify whether laws are constitutional or not. Please do your research before you decide to show us all how big of a retard you are.

Yes. This is probably the single biggest oversight (intentional or not) in the formation of US government. There should also be limits imposed on unelected appointees.

Not only that, much stricter ethics requirements as well. Their interests are not at all aligned with those of their constituents- and VV it shows. You can’t have a democracy without that alignment.

Yes, the founding fathers never intended for anyone to become a professional politician. Two terms and you are all done.

Agreed. And would add:
- While in term, officials would not have any health insurance policies that aren’t also provided as an option for the general public. I believe in would also be fair for them to pay a percentage toward the premiums, as most of the general population also has to contribute handsomely for health insurance. - Once the term has ended, no benefits further “special life time benefits”, just for serving a term.

But they don't make nor approve laws. They only interpret the more questionable ones as to whether they follow our constitution or not. Term limits aren't needed for that.
