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.

No, but age is a major factor
No, but ban Congress members from lobbying for at least 10 years after they leave Congress
@93TXCBP3yrs3Y
If term limits were to exist, their length would need to be studied to determine the most effective policy. Too short of a limit leads to too much inexperience and constant turnover, whereas too long of a limit would effectively lead to no change. Politicians deserve to work into their mid-to-late 60s if they want, just like any other profession.
@9329QX83yrs3Y
No but they should have reduced benefits.
@8X9JTLF4yrs4Y
No, we, as Americans should be allowed to vote for whoever we feel to represent us in congress
@acurtis4yrs4Y
It depends on the person. If there are no term limits, we should be able to eject a member from Congress at any time if they are proven to be corrupt.
No, instead existing terms should be shortened and elections should be reformed to move away from fptp.
@8PB53BZ5yrs5Y
They should not be allowed to give themselves raises
@8M8TRK6Independent5yrs5Y
Remove all salaries and retirement benefits, and enforce existing laws against corruption. Congress ought to be in prison, by numerous standards.
@8KJ29235yrs5Y
Yes, but these limits should only apply to consecutive years in Congress.
@8FG25YJIndependent5yrs5Y
No, but the election and re-election process for Congress should be reformed.
I do not really know much about this
@98SKPMLRepublican3yrs3Y
I’m not as in favor of term limits as I am removing corporations donating to congress. Need to get money out of congress
@CalebGMoss973yrs3Y
No, officials gain valuable experience and become more effective representatives over time; and we already have term limits that are called "elections"
@8X35KJK4yrs4Y
Yes, but only another 4 year term
