To: The United States House of Representatives and The United States Senate
Federal Electable Service Limits
No person shall serve more than 14 years in the US House of Representatives or more than 14 years in the US Senate in their lifetime. No person shall serve more than 20 years total combined in both houses of congress in their lifetime.
Why is this important?
Term limits for congress and Senate. The President has them and the others should also. Incumbency leads to members becoming so engrained in the election system, that a successful challenger must go in the sewer to have a chance and this mind set is not good for our country. A person in office for 50 years has no idea what two or three generations removed is interested in leading to dumb statements like legitimate vs. illegitimate rape. Enough is enough. A person may maximize their elected service with a total of 20 combined years in the house and senate and eight in the presidency. Twenty-eight years is the average time most American spend on a single career.
