Much of the experience comes from teams of people who can move on to work for others. I'd be interested to see examples of important progress made by people who had been in power for decades which could not have been reasonably achieved by people with less time in office.
- astrodust 10y agoA first term senator is often viewed as highly inexperienced, and they get six years to get their shit together. If congress was limited to eight years like the president they'd barely be getting the hang of it when you turf them out. What about term limits for CEOs? Mayors? Football players? It's absurd. Remove barriers to competition and keep the best by having a robust, democratic process to weed out those who are bad. A badly thought out term limit implementation would see people flip from the house to the senate and back again, perhaps working in tandem to fend off any competition. What point does that useless exercise serve?
