Term limits

Donald Trump is proposing a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on members of congress. I couldn’t find the specific details for it, but he had apparently endorsed a similar proposal in 2016 where he was pushing for 3 terms for congress (6 years) and 2 terms for senate (12 years).

In general do you support having term limits on the legislative branch? And on the other end of the spectrum, should we have presidential term limits?

Personally I can see arguments for or against. The argument in favor of term limits is that it will help to make sure that certain people don’t become entrenched in our political process. With the lack of term limits, we have people that can dictate our politics for decades. It is argued that this increases insider politics leading to more corruption. Furthermore, we would expect without term limits for our legislative branch to be older, and they might overstay their welcome on both sides. Since incumbency advantage is so powerful, even someone who clearly should retire like Sen Feinstein will stay along for way longer than they should.

The argument against term limits is that by limiting members of congress and senate to a few terms, we are making it so that we will have less experienced politicians that might not know how to get things done. And as people get better at legislating, they might have to either run for a senate seat to keep offering their skills, or run for some other position. Furthermore, in their last term in office they have way more incentive to start looking for their “landing spot” creating a corrupting incentive. Also in the strictest sense of the word, term limits are anti-democratic because they might prevent someone who people wanted to vote for from running again.

Ignoring the practicality of passing a constitutional amendment, would you support the term limits as proposed? Or perhaps different limits?
