The longer they stay in office the more they are corrupted by power. money, and ego.

We have a presidential election every four years and a president has term limits. House of representatives, and the Senate need the same.

The argument they give ist they need experienced leaders and two and four years do not give them enough time to know the rules but I argue that the longer they are in office the less they are connected to the people they represent.

Term Limits would be good but I think one of the past action that played the biggest part in changing the U.S. from a true Representative Republic was the passage of the 17th amendment (Direct election of Senators)

I would like to see this amendment repealed.

Which would work to restoring the U.S. as a true representative republic, imposition of term limits, or revocation of 17th amendment?

Revoking the 17th Amendment would likely do more to restore the U.S. to a "true representative republic" as envisioned by the Founders, who prioritized a balanced federal system with states as key players in governance.

It directly addresses the structural erosion of state influence, a cornerstone of the original republic, and aligns with the Constitution’s design to prevent centralized tyranny.

While term limits promote fresh representation and accountability, they don’t tackle the federal-state imbalance and could introduce governance inefficiencies.

However, revocation risks public pushback due to reduced voter power, so its success depends on public understanding of federalism’s value. Term limits, while impactful, are a less fundamental fix for restoring the republic’s original framework. Final Answer: Revocation of the 17th Amendment.

Each state can create their own law creating term limits, and make laws that forbid their representatives and senators from stock investments in companies that cross ethical lines. They can also create laws that allow them to fire representatives that break their oath of office. No recalls needed, no federal involvement. They are, after all, the state’s representatives, and can also forbid external money from people like Soros and all. Only state citizens can contribute.

AWESOME, make it true for all 50 states

I don't know when this was, if it is recent or not, this is what I've found so far...

A5 Pledge Signers in States That Passed Term Limits

The real answer is free and fair primaries and elections. Term limits won’t stop politicians being selected and installed, it will just mean we get new faces occasionally.

Going to back to per diem pay, instead of an annual salary, would solve A LOT of problems. Only get paid on days in session.

I'm worried about having a convention of states because we could end up getting seriously screwed and nothing that made us ask for a convention of states would get enacted. I could see an amendment that would prohibit criticism of certain groups and limitations on the 2nd amendment. We will never GAIN more rights, just lose more

Have you read how the delegates are chosen? So liberal states will send liberal delegates and moderate states will send RINOs. And conservatives will lose control— probably the rules will get changed and the Left will eliminate the 2A and any other constitutional language they don’t like. This is such a bad idea. We don’t need an amendment. Just change back to per diem pay and tighten laws and penalties for bribes,fraud, and insider trading. Also, repeal the 17th amendment — that will help limit lobbys funding campaigns.

this convention should be opposed. All a state has to do is have their state legislatures write up an amendment to pass term limits. If a national convention is held, then there will be delegates who will propose numerous amendments, even scrapping the Constitution.

Don't forget the mandatory Balanced Budget amendment .....

A convention of states is possibly the most dangerous thing that could ever happen to this country. The rules of the convention wouldn't be agreed on until the convention is already underway. What's to stop all those evil, corrupt bastards from throwing in a whole lot of other shit that we don't want and voting in rules that would guarantee they could pass whatever they want and stop whatever they want (such as term limits)? If we can't control them now, what makes everyone think we can control them when they get their filthy hands on a constitutional convention?

The trick I can see with such a setup is dynasties. Instead of dealing with 1 asshat for 6 -8 years, We how have to deal with their kids and all their family members.

Congress was never meant to be a lifelong career!

4 terms in the House, 2 in the Senate. And reverse that piece of crap that had elected Senators.

I have always held this sentiment... TERM LIMITS ARE A COP-OUT FOR SECURE AMD ACCURATE ELECTIONS. If you're sick of a politician you should have the freedom to vote them out, if they do a good job they should be allowed to run as long as they like. I think tooooo much turnover also allows for nefarious actors to set up a pipeline of compromats to congress who will never represent your interests
