To: The United States House of Representatives and The United States Senate

Term Limits for all Congress Members

Balance of powers should include having the same rules. The President is limited to 2 terms. Therefore, a Senator and a Congressman should also have such limits; if not 2 terms then at least a set amount, but no more than 3-4.

Why is this important?

There are some people in Congress who are there for decades. It is not a balance of power when you have a limited President but not a limited Congress. People who have been in Congress for several decades usually are there because of lobbyists and not because of the views of their constituents. Their views usually never change, even though the people they represent do. Balance should have the same rules when it is an issue in the Constitution. In the beginning it was a voluntary honor to serve in Congress. Now it is a paid job but at taxpayers' expense. As a tax payer, I would like to see terms and fresh people with fresh minds and ideas, keeping up with the times.
