'''Term limits''' refers to statutory or constitutional limits on the number of terms a politician can serve in a given office. A term limit places a restriction on the number of years that a government official may serve. For example, the [[President of the United States]] is limited by the [[Twenty-Second Amendment]] to two [[term]]s. There are no terms limits for representatives and senators, per ''[[U.S. Term Limits v. Thornton]]'' in 1995.

Those who support term limits say that politicians who spend too much time in office lose touch with the interests of the voters, and become overly influenced by [[special interests]].  They argue that the Founders intended for government officials to get elected from the public, serve from a short period of time, and then go back to their normal lives, and that the idea of professional politicians is un-American and [[elitist]]. Term limits would also take away the overwhelming dominance incumbents typically have in congressional elections.
