Term Limits (Federal Elective Office)

For a long time, I opposed term limits, as I saw them as a smokescreen covering efforts to eliminate politicians who had the support of other voters in other districts. But with 318 million people in this country, (about half eligible for office), there is no reason to let the same handful run (or mis-run) things year after year, decade after decade. Let's allow an individual 12 (or 18) years in Federal elective office, excluding the Presidency. VP is a freebie, given VP Garner's accurate description of the office. Oh, and no government pensions for elected officials. That's for career folks who put in 20 to 40 years, and political office shouldn't be a career. The pols get enough to fund their own retirements.
