No, enacting term limits would be like not allowing a colony of staph to be around long enough to penetrate the skin barrier. People should serve 1-2 terms and then go back to their real jobs. The system should require regular changeover, rather than incentivizing people to make a lifelong career out of a political position. Instead, the system provides significant advantages to incumbents, which undermines your suggested approach because good people can’t or won’t run against a multiple-term incumbent.Setting Term Limits is like putting a Band-Aid on a staph infection. Fix the root of the issue (the biased media and our education system for example) and let the better informed voters set the term limits. There are good people serving in elected positions also; why should not the voters determine how long they serve?
