    Term limits(for congress) aren’t an issue. It’s outright good to have a portion of reps with institutional knowledge on how to run a government, and extremely helpful in diplomacy with other countries as well.

    Age limits are the real issue to push, because geriatric fucks being in charge is the real danger.

    Everything else, I wholly and completely agree with you on

      I would prefer a slightly incompetent but well meaning person to lead, than someone malicious and skilled. With the former, they will be willing to acknowledge their mistakes or what people want, while the latter would play shell games while pocketing the riches of the people.

      Term and age limits are needed, so that evil people cannot build a nest made out of the government. What we lose in raw efficiency, we regain from a lack of corruption.
