You are probably right, Mig, but I do have one concern. The bottom line is that a minority of leaders on both sides in the House and in the Senate actually have a clue about what is going on. In the GOP people like McCain, Lugar (formerly), and Boehner know the ropes as do people like Feinstein, Reid and Pelosi for the Dems. Many of the rest are just a bunch of pols who just want to stay in office. My concern with term limits is if the real leadership on both sids of the aisle are forced out after a certain time, there will be no one sesoned enough to stand up to the bureaucrats who NEVER leave D.C. and who could rn roughshod over the people who are supposed to be regulating them. Otherwise new faces in the House and Senate would be welcome.
