I hope we can get some good discussion going on the benefits (and detriments) of having limited terms for congressmen. They wouldn't have to spend so much time worrying about re-election, they might be able to make decisions based on whats best for the country not what will most likely get them re-elected. Why do they spend so much to get elected to a job which doesn't pay that well?
