is the only way to prevent "paid for" politicians. If the president is limited, so should be everyone else.

How do we make that happen? No politician would vote for it.

If term limits are placed on politicians, but not their staff, then political staffers will eventually have more power and influence than you could ever imagine. Politicians don't actually write their own bills or speeches, staffers do. Staffers often tell them how to vote. Term limits give the unelected men behind the curtain tremendous power.

Limit all federal govt held and funded positions with a few exceptions. Like the janitor working at the Capitol building, the receptionist at the Smithsonian etc
