Yes, Eight years in the House and Eight years in the Senate. If it is good enough for the president, it is good enough for Congress.
Amen.

There are 435 in the House and 100 in the Senate so if 5 or 10 of either one keep getting elected it won't skew our country's course. Term limits for President should stay at 2 terms to prevent a 'king-like' or 'emperor-like' position from being created.
No, and they should remove term limits where they exist. If people want someone out of office, vote someone else in.
I agree with Translate. Term limits are what elections are intended to enforce.
No, but only because of how you worded the question. "Every" office would seem to indicate everything from President to Dog Catcher in Bumblefuck, Arkansas. The Federeal government doesn't have the authority to do such things below the national level.
I would love to see term limits for Congress. It would help put an end to professional politicians.
Serving your country should be an honor, not a career.
Valid point. The question could have been worded better. The intent was "should all elected offices have term limits?"
BTW, I don't think dog catchers are elected... at least not in my community.
I believe all elected offices should have term limits, but I also believe in federalism, so I voted "no". State and local governments should determine such matters for themselves without a dictate from Washington.

[1 point] 223 days ago by deleted user ReplySo you are saying that "E Pluribus Unum" is referring to many little countries within one?
Nope. I'm saying "federalism", meaning that the U.S. Constitution divides powers between national and state governments as part of its system of checks and balances. The federal government should step in to defend the Bill of Rights, interstate commerce, etc., but must otherwise respect state and local jurisdictions as described in the Constitution.
