Term Limits

Too many representatives hang on to their seat for too long. It’s time for a change.

Why it matters:

Public office was never meant to be a career, and yet generational seats held for decades by the same officials permeate Congress. By remaining in office, these officials hinder fresh voices, ideas, and representation for their constituents, all for the sake of remaining in power. Members of Congress should be term limited, eliminating generational seats once and for all and opening up the legislative body to a new generation of leaders.

Solution(s):

• Create legislation to instate term limits for Congressional representatives
• Create legislation to instate 18-year term limits for Supreme Court justices
