The term limit is called election time and the problem is voters keep re-electing the same clowns.

This right here.

So the idiots of this country want an idiot proof electoral process? Our forefathers are puking in their graves. They gave us a perfect system based on constitutional powers and you want to frick it up. Shame on you.

We do have term limits.

Two years is the term for a member of the house and six for a senator.

Vote em out if you don't like them. If you want to keep them in place, you can do that as well.

I don't think term limits should exist for the President either.

No our founding fathers gave us a pretty damn good system, but the true genius of their system is that you can amend the Constitiution so it can solve the problems in government. Our forfathers were polite enough to step aside when their time was up. George Washington, James Monroe, James Madison and Thomas Jefferson all left after 2 terms, so why can't Mary Landrieu or Tad Cochran for example.
