    More like reasonable term limits.

    Two terms for each position seems reasonable so you can be asked to continue or asked to leave. This allows you to run on a policy, implement it and then fix it or things that need to be tweaked and then get out.

      Also means you have less time to cash in so you’re forced to sell policy to the highest bidder and never enact changes that you actually want

        Think that issue gets resolved quickly as no one really has the power in tenure anymore. If everyone only has a few years a cycle or two of stalemates will eventually lead to both sides having to work together or try and win the entire house.

      This leads to another problem. Everyone will make policy to suck up to industry in order to secure a job after their term limits.

      It’s already a problem of politicians swapping in and out of politics and into industry. Today they “represent the people against car manufacturers”, tomorrow they are a car industry lobbyist.
