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.

The Swamp isn't caused by length of exposure time.
It is caused by the corrupting influence of power. Unaccountable power is the general source of the problem.
Installing term limits merely shifts the knowledge of how and who to work with into the unaccountable staffers and lobbyists further reducing the already limited amount of accountability we still have.
Who hires the staffers? Wouldn't new people be more likely to eliminate old staffers?
Not the smart ones. If you really pay attention, even the anti establishment renegades end up hiring established staffers into their offices about a year in. They realize that its the only way to get anything done.
