Yes. I don't think unlimited is ethical.
Unlimited is not ethical you are correct!
We need to redefine these terms.
The only infallible, unstoppable, guaranteed way to get a truly new Congress is :
NEVER REELECT ANY INCUMBENT! AND DO IT EVERY ELECTION!
Don't let anyone serve more than one term. Some of the reasons to do this:
• It gives us a one-term-limited Congress without using amendments
• It encourages ordinary citizens to run for Congress
• It would be supported by 70% of the country who want term limits for Congress
• It is completely nonpartisan
• If repeated, it ends career politicians in Congress
• It opens the way to a “citizen Congress”
* It would open a torrent of fresh ideas to improve our government
• It ends the seniority system that keeps freshmen powerless
• It doesn’t cost money. But you MUST vote! Just don’t vote for an incumbent
• It is the only guaranteed, infallible, unstoppable way to “Throw the Bums Out”
• It takes effect immediately on Election Day
• If it doesn’t work, do it again and again! It will work eventually
NEVER REELECT ANYONE IN CONGRESS. AND DO IT EVERY ELECTION!
That sounds like a great idea, only problem is just how are you going to implement it?
Just curious . . . :S
Yea but sometimes it takes a while before you can even gain respect and actually know what you are doing. We are literally throwing average Americans into Congress with some fancy suits and telling them to make a better world. It's not an overnight process.
Being one representative out of 535 for life doesn't compare to being to being president for life. I would support soft term limits. Reduce Senate terms to three years. Allow Senators to only serve 4 terms in that case. And allow Congressmen to serve for 6 terms.
