Wikipedia says that Jefferson and Ben Franklin were for term limits, is this accurate? Did they they ever write something contradictory to this?

I'd like to set term limits at zero. You list me some pros and cons.


The only thing to say is that if you want to support a justice or security agency which imposes employment limits, I'd like to help you be free to do that.

I am against term limits. We dont need to limit their terms we need to make them up hold the Constitution.

If we had term limits there would never have been a Ron Paul revolution.

I think the original structure for the appointment of Senators would indicate that they never believed it would be a lifetime career. But I do not think that overturning the 17th Amendment is possible, because all conversation will be shut down with, "They're trying to take away our votes!!"

I think we need another amendment.

I'm not a fan of politicians or elected leaders having any political control, in general. I suppose i can see the logic of term limits, and am a fan of anything that's truly meant to limit government force and power.
