Constitution: Should Terms Of Menbers Be Limited?

No, the constitution must not be amended to limit the term of congressmen and senators for the reason. (1) It will compromise the experience that comes with the long period of being of congressman. For example, of Ted Kennedy, Allan Specter, John Kerry, and Joe Lieberman. These are experience senators and they always bring their experience to bear on national issues and on debate in the house. If the constitution is amended we cannot have such experience senators and congressmen. Because their term will have ended at the time that they are gathering experience.(2) The constitution itself gives the power to the electorate to vote out a non performing congressman or senator, so the vote of the electorate would determine how long a congressman or a senator stays at congress. Because they have this power, it does not make any sense to change the constitution to limit the terms of the congressman or the senator
