A term limit is a legal restriction that limits the number of terms an officeholder may serve in a particular elected office. For a while now, citizens in the United States have started to support this idea more and more. Reality is that they’re a bad idea that would worsen the problem of power among some of those already in Washington (Price). Since 1973, 28,537 bills dealing with term limits have been requested.

They know what they are doing and things will, with success, get done quicker than those who may have no idea what they should be doing. This knowledge and experience would continue to be lost in time if term limits were in affect (Green). This is acknowledgeable experience gained that term limits would only destroy the value of in the long run (Loudon). Those already in office have promises they want to fulfill while they’re in office, but sometimes, those promises take time. Term limits would allow non-experienced legislators to take over the promises of these previous legislators because they simply didn’t have enough time to go through with it
