Term limits are appealing

Mon., July 9, 2012

I agree with Judy A. Layton’s June 23 letter on term limits. Just think: no more career politicians, no more constant campaigning and they might even accomplish what they are there for. I would go a little further by suggesting no U.S. representative or senator serve more than six years, which would limit representatives to three terms and senators to one.

As for the U.S. Supreme Court, I think age 65 is a little young. How about 70, or even 75?
