Yet, Hamilton makes the argument against term limits, and for a lot of good reasons. My own theory is that Hamilton was "writing through rose-colored glasses" and was a little too confident in the (hopefully) good intentions of those who would not only run for office, but of those who would elect them.

It would save us lots of pension pay and bring fresh blood and ideas into the mix. I also think term limits bring people to serve for the right reasons - not to be a career politician.Bobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11833063335140381896noreply@blogger.com
