Should Congress have term limits? Congress imposed term limits on the Presidency citing corruption as the reason for this need after FDR broke the tradition of only two terms set by Washington.<br />

Simple thinkers, concrete thinkers and those who don't think at all support term limits for Congress. Of course they already exist, the power is the vote, and every two years the H. of Rep. membership stands for reelection, and every six years so do members of the Senate.<br />
<br />
I oppose this short-sighted idea for the simple reason experience counts. Would anyone of those who support this idea have surgery from someone who had never operated before? Fly with a pilot who had never flown before? <br />
<br />
The problem with the Congress is too many members put their job first, and vote the way their leadership tells them and/or how the power elite require; not necessarily what their district wants or needs. It's time for the Supreme Court to acknowledge the two Citizens United Decisions were and remain foolish and threaten democracy itself.</div>
