Most definetly. We need the Ted Kennedy's out and some fresh....and might I add sober...faces in there. How these people get elected time and time again absolutely amazes me!

Absolutely we should have term limits. When psychos like Ted Kennedy are elected every year by an apathetic constituency, it's the only thing that can get these people out and have true representation of the people. I have no idea who it is that Kennedy represents, perhaps just himself. But there are many others that have been in Congress for decades. Our political system was not intended for that.

Yes. It would make it harder to keep the "good ole boys" in office and make room for some fresh air in that stale environment. 2 terms of 2 years sounds good to me. With no lingering benefits that are tax payer funded. No retirement benefit for serving and since they could serve at the max 4 years no need for it.

Absolutely, two terms and you are done. Want to eliminate big money influence, make those terms non-consecutive and publicly funded.
BTW, I knew you meant senate.

Yeah or a fast-track out if they pull anything not in the citizen's best interest.
