Between the combination of safe seats and the advantages of incumbency, it is often difficult to defeat members of Congress from office in an election. This has contributed to a lack of turnover in Congress, which some see as being a problem. One possible solution often mentioned is implementing term limits. We see term limits for the president, but not for members of Congress. What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of limiting the amount of time a person can serve in Congress? Explain why you would or would not support a constitutional amendment that created term limits for members of Congress?
