It definitely shows what an issue "no term limits" has become. Basically once you are in the house or senate, you can stay there for life if you want, without too much effort.

We don't have a "competitive market" of politics, we have a 2-colored monopoly

It could be part of the solution if inevitable organ failure has anything to say about it

The longer a person is in office, the more likely he/she is compromised in some way or totally corrupted.

I feel like once you receive the benefits of a senior citizen, you should not be allowed to hold public office.

If that's a little extreme, maybe some higher age limit then. Bottom line is: I don't know any 76-year-olds I would trust to drive me to the grocery store, let alone run the country.
