Yep. Serving in Congress as a career has resulted in a certain group of
people who view their position in leadership as an entitlement and with
the
viewpoint that they are our ruling aristocracy. That was never intended.
As someone pointed out in another forum, the founders were brilliant, but
they weren't perfect -- enacting term limits would be in keeping with
their
intent.



The current term limits at the Federal level are two, four, six years, and
eight years. Any time the voting public desires to limit someone's term all
they need do is vote for someone else. A President who makes it past his
second election is limited by the constitution to two consecutive terms.
