I have never supported term limits.  I trust the people to know when a politician's time is up a lot more than I trust a one-size-fits-all policy.

we DEFINITELY don't need term limits.  When the voters feel a person has been in office long enough, as was the case with me and Stevennick, they'll vote him out.

Yeah, it's fine for the majority, but that's not meaningful. What about the other people in the district, who are getting sick of their Senator who keeps getting reelected?

Uh, last I checked, elected representatives are supposed to represent the majority of the people in their constituency.  I see nothing wrong with them keeping on getting elected if they still do.

That's like asking Idaho to stop going Republican in every election.  It's not fair that the majority keeps getting to say what happens in elections!

Two 3-term Senators got kicked out in the last election.  Why don't you trust the people to do what needs to be done?

If we want fresh faces, we'll elect them to office.

If the Senate has term limits, then the Presidency should have term limits. If the Senate doesn't have term limits, then the Presidency shouldn't have term limits.

I say no term limits for either position.

I personally agree with this.  I don't support any term limits.

It might not matter, though; it's not like any President here in Atlasia is capable of being re-elected. Wink
