Amen, Chris, on those term limits! Imagine the situation right now, with a president suffering from a degenerative neurological ailment. Congress only began to move when their down ballot chances became threatened. Imagine what our legislature would be like if they only had the country -- and not their re-election prospects -- to think of. They might actually be motivated to do the right thing.

(literally as well as figuratively), which is why they didn't build in term limits. They couldn't anticipate that these people would so feather their nests with perks, swanky offices, hot and cold running staff, allowances for everything, making four times the median salary in the country.
Within just a few months most of them become creatures of Washington and have more in common with their fellow martinets than they do with anyone back home, the great unwashed.
