Federal Term Limits
The US president’s time in office is limited to two four-year terms. Besides, anyone who has acted as president for over two years shall not be elected into office more than once. On the other hand, senators are elected to unlimited six-year terms, which means an active senator can run as many times as one wishes. Finally, House of Representatives members are elected to unlimited two-year terms, implying active members can run as many times as they wish.
According to Krutz (pp 505-507), proponents of term limits argue that such limits give citizens an opportunity to introduce fresh blood into leadership who can bring new ideas and perspectives into leadership. Another argument for term limits is that they introduce turnover among elected officials, such that some citizens do not become career legislators. Nonetheless, some legislators have previously been elected to multiple terms and become career legislators, like the former Delaware senator and now president, Joseph Biden. The third defense for term limits is that it is an opportunity to bring diversity by allowing members of minority groups, women, and people who occupy special occupations to join the house. Notably, marginalized people will likely be elected by making the seats open more often.
On the other hand, opponents of term limits argue that term limits reduce the chance of attaining diversity because minority groups and women are subjected to similar limits. Also, term limits limit institutional memory and expertise (Jordan, 127). That is because, in every election, new and inexperienced members replace experienced house members. As a result, research has shown that new members are consulting lobbyists on legislative matters due to their lack of experience. The loss of institutional memory and expertise impacts the efficiency of elected officials in delivering their responsibilities.
