I fear that term limits will simply permit donors to obtain control of legislation by simply offering jobs to term limited Congress members.
You realize that already happens, right?

It will unintentionally increase the loyalty of elected officials to donors and decrease their accountability to voters
Again, how does that "increase", when it already exists? How many current sitting congressmen/women go from middle class to millionaires within their first or 2nd term? How does that happen? It's already happening.
quote:
The only members of the federal government who should be subject to term limits are in the executive branch.
Why the exception?

An elected rep can always be voted out if the rep does something that his constituents disagree with.
A term limited rep has nothing to lose for defying his constituents.
Administrative officials are bureaucrats who cannot be fired or voted out. Yet they make legislation. There’s no check on them. So may as well rotate them out periodically.
