A term limit is a law that limits the amount of time a political representative may hold an elected office. In the U.S. the office of the President is restricted to two four year terms. There are currently no term limits for Congressional terms but various states and cities have enacted term limits for their elected officials at the local level.

There should not be term limits, per say, but a mental fitness test should be instituted and age limits should be considered. We don't need another Dianne Feinstein serving to the point where she is unable to actually be there to cast votes and make sense of the situation.
Yes, and term limits should be defined to mean that no member of the House or Senate can run for reelection beyond the age of 75
@EsdeathTheEmo1Democrat 2yrs2Y
Yes, maximum of six terms for the House (6 2-year terms = 12 years) and two terms for the Senate (2 6-year terms =12 years).
No, maximum age limits should be instituted instead
Yes, impose a mandatory retirement age of 75 for those serving in either the House or Senate
Yes, impose term limits of no longer than age 75 for those serving in either the House or Senate
@LuckyChucky411Democrat5yrs5Y
No, but we should have a means for removing officials who are clearly non compise mentis
@8QFLVFMWorking Family5yrs5Y
Yes, every government position besides the Supreme Court, should have term limits.
Yes, a Constitutional amendment should be passed that imposes a maximum term limit of age 75 for those serving in either the House or Senate
No, but they should be up for reelection every few years.
No, and take the term limits off of the Presidency.
No, elections are the opportunity for members of Congress to prove themselves, and experience results in better representatives
Yes, impose an age limit of 75 for those serving in either the House or the Senate
20 years maximum and then you retire with benefits (unless you are voted out).
Yes based on popularity/ favorablilty rates
Yes, but only for members of the Senate
Regardless, make Congress elections proportional and crack down on lobbying.
Yes and decrease their term limit.
Yes, but only after a third consecutive term
Senate terms should be reduced to 4 years. 4-term limit for the House, 2 for the Senate
They already have a set amount of years before they need to be re-elected
@8VCC2VS4yrs4Y
Yes, term limits will increase performance and prevent corruption as long as the term limits isn't too short (like 1 term)
For Republicans only, for spreading their lies and misinformation. In fact the people who claim the election was stolen should be suspended from the government.
NO, and there should not be term limits on the president.
Yes, but the limits should not be too short. I just don't want them to stay in forever. Maybe limit representatives to a total of 20 years (10 terms) and Senators to 24 years (4 terms)
Yes, but these term limits should be long enough to enact change and gain experience.
I think there should be at least a maximum age limit for politicians. We dont need someone who is 80 making decisions for the country when they have outdated beliefs
Yes but after an off period, allow them to run again.
@Poke4Prez03Democrat4yrs4Y
Yes, six terms for the House and two terms for the Senate
No we should just make apportionment illegal and elect congress in statewide elections.
@8RC3S3N5yrs5Y
This is a quiz about Turkey, not Zionist Israel!
We need to have alternate terms, each member should be able to serve 1-2 terms, the have to sit out for a term.
No term limits, but age restrictions.
Need to learn more to form a stance
No, but there should be a retirement age requirement.
Have No Congress, it creates corruption and turns democracy into bureaucracy
No, but we should reform the electoral system (approval voting, making it easy for everyone to vote by mail or in person, find a way to reduce the influence of money in elections, impose penalties for telling lies on the campaign trail etc.) to make it easier for unpopular incumbents to be recalled or replaced and easier for third-party candidates to win.
I do not really know much about this
No, but there should be some sort of age limit.
Yes, a Constitutional amendment should be passed that imposes a mandatory retirement age of 75 for those serving in either the House or Senate
Yes, impose a maximum term limit of age 75 for those serving in either the House or Senate
Yes, impose a limit of age 75 for those serving in either the House or Senate
There's merit in the principle but would want to know more.
There should be retirement ages, not term limits.
Members of Congress should be subject to an automatic triggered term limit upon failure to pass a federal budget each congressional session. This “fail-safe” measure would incentivize members to exercise compromise and bipartisanship when entrusted with taxpayer funding of the federal government. Annual, codified, and mandatory spending obligations should never be used as political leverage for unrelated partisan projects.
Depending on how well the members are doing.
Yes, term limits should be equal for both the House and the Senate.

Yes, a four-term limit (or twenty-four years) for members of the Senate but not the House.
