Should there be term limits set for members of the House of Representatives?
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.

Yes, term limits for every single position in government as well as the Supreme Court
@heatherdvdprincess3yrs3Y
Whatever the Constitution says. It is an inspired document for our government.
@8QDSNZY4yrs4Y
Yes, members of the house should get to serve a total of 8 years (4 terms) and in the Senate also 8 years (4 terms) however elections in the Senate are every two years as opposed to six.
@4W48KKZ4yrs4Y
No, however, cut pay and benefits and reallocate that funding to programs that prevent corruption.
@8K576494yrs4Y
No, keep the policies as they are.
@8WVSFDZ3yrs3Y
No, but salary should be connected to performance of the economy and health benefits should be limited to that of the common man...except for the cost of a minimalist local residence in Washington should also be included. I support Judicial term limits because they can't be voted out.
@8P6PWZP4yrs4Y
No, let them stay until they are voted out democratically.
@8R2RMP34yrs4Y
Yes, in the form of a limit on consecutive terms.

Yes, only for the senate.

@WanderingPagan4yrs4Y
No, we already have term limits called "elections", but after leaving Congress, their salary stops and retirement benefits can be continued if an individual pays for it on their own. Also, the ability to recall national elected officials needs to be made. Not just state & local governments.
