P.J. O'Rourke once quipped about term limits something along the lines of "do you want a dog that knows where all the bones are buried, or a dog that digs up the entire yard?" It seems an easy fix, but like a lot of easy fixes you replace the known problems with unknown problems. Which doesn't mean it's not a good idea per se, but it also doesn't mean it will fix anything. For example, with term limits, it becomes even cheaper to buy a politician than it is now.
