all elected officials in the U.S. should be allowed only ONE six year term in office. No worries or distractions about being re-elected and long enough to make a difference. What say you? I'm all for this. Provided, it applies retroactively for all of the douche nuggets who have already spent way more than six years in ANY elected office. With the addendum, that any elected official be publicly hanged, should they leave office with more wealth than they entered with. I agree with all of it except the hanging. Is old Sparky still being used in Florida? I've no idea. Okay... How about this? At the end of six years, politicians be securely duct taped to a small freight buggy, and steam catapult launched from the flight deck of an aircraft carrier. |

I agree with this one and "IF YOU DON'T MAKE IT RETROACTIVE YOU MAY AS WELL MAKE IT RADIOACTIVE". |

Elected officials are just that...elected. Its not supposed to be lifelong position. Its meant to be surpassed by the one who can do what they are elected to do in the best way according to the people who elect at the time the elections are being made. Career politicians is a sign of lazy people failing to utilize the best person for the job at the term limits. Incumbents may not be the right person for the job at the time the term limit expires. Political careers (being in the political trade) might be okay but elected office should be one and done. You run but don't get elected, that's it, you can't run for that office again, ever. You do get elected, you do your term and you're done, that's it. If you don't do what you were elected to do, you get put out, face charges of fraud and possible jail time. I only agree with this if it is speaking about the same position. I do not think people should have a limit on how long they work in the 'field' of politics. Politics is a field of work which can truly implement change, elected or not. And people that want to be in such a position should not have a limit on how long they can work in doing so, just how long in any ONE Position. I think people tend to be better with experience than when they are brand new, which is why I think that constant turnover of other 'new' people to the field of politics is a bad idea. By all means, maybe do not have the same mayor for ten years, but nothing should stop the mayor, after a time, from becoming a governor, or the governor from becoming a senator, and so on. I also think years worked should be based on the same 40 hours a week/50 weeks a year (2000 hours a year) that anyone else must work, with time spent on work related activity being logged and transparent and documented. Some will do that 2000 hours in much less than a calendar year, some might not do it in two or three. But each 2000 hours should count towards a year's worth of pension. I think that allotment should include all hours worked for the state or federal government in an elected position, accumulated over all elected positions held. |

I say two terms, like a POTUS, but term limits for certain. Let them keep retirement. They don't collect until after 62 UNLESS they have served 20 years. I agree with ms harmony ... only 2 terms... if u look at the USA in the past here someone has manages to screw up the whole world ...personally that is not a leader ...tactics like that have wrecking ball ...effects ... which is very sad for the US and other country's ... especially in times of care for others ... and all they think about our their self's ... |
