I've always opposed term limits for the simple reason that as citizens we should be able to send to Congress whoever we want that is eligible under the Constitution for as long as we want, but the CORRUPTION is too great, it's beyond an acceptable level, with all that's been revealed and especially the way many Republicans are acting who have been there a long time, I'm sorry, but we have to cut it off and get you out of there BY LAW, because a district can keep someone just for the federal funding pouring into their 1 district because of the seniority of their member of the US House of Representatives or illegal voting by illegal aliens in exchange for Amnesty or bad trade deals because of a high dollar specific business group.
Therefore, I will support this term limits amendment to the US Constitution.
