so, nothing happens and we all plod along.
we need term limits for congress. if they can't get re-elected, they might get off their asses and actually do something because they don't have to worry about pandering to voters.

term limits only empowers lobbyists. when you wipe out institutional memory, who do you think fills the vacuum?
the entire term limits paradigm is misguided. it started on a premise that no one running for office could possibly do so out a sense of public responsibility and has been a self-fulfilling prophecy. it's guaranteed the result it was supposed to solve.
