I can think of a few reasons why limiting congressional terms might have bad
effects -- first, it would prevent those people who actually have some talent
at running the country from really getting work done, and second, if most
of the people in congress weren't worrying about re-election, they would be
even more irresponsible than they are now -- the one thing that keeps them
in line is the fact that if they act too badly they won't get re-elected
(and maybe in a few cases, a real desire to do things properly).
