Term Limits History and Current Affairs Ancient history
"Term limits have a long history. Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome, two early civilizations which had elected offices, both imposed limits on some positions.
In ancient Athenian democracy, only offices selected by sortition were subjects to terms limits (one term of one year for each office, except members of the council of 500 (boule), where it was possible to serve two one year terms, non-consecutively). Elected offices were all subject to possible re-election, although they were minoritarian, these positions were more prestigious and those requiring the most experience, such as military generals and the superintendent of springs.
In the Roman Republic, a law was passed imposing a limit of a single term on the office of censor. The annual magistrates - tribune of the plebs, aedile, quaestor, praetor, and consul were forbidden reelection until a number of years had passed.[1] (see cursus honorum, Constitution of the Roman Republic)."
Term Limits: The Only Way to Clean Up Congress
"The term limits phenomenon is a tribute to public involvement in politics and is one of the few reforms devised and implemented by people who live beyond the Beltway. It is substantive, not cosmetic; both allies and enemies concede that limiting political terms would create fundamental change in American politics."
National Review Article by Thomas Sowell A Real Term Limit
"There are many patriotic Americans who would put aside their own private careers to serve in office if the cost to them and their families were not ruinous, and if they had some realistic hope of advancing the interests of the country and its people without being obstructed by career politicians."
For Our Friends Who Are Against Term Limits Careful What You Wish For!
