'''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, Inc. v. Thorton in 1995.

Those who oppose term limits say they impair the right of the people to vote. If a government official is doing a good job, the people should be able to elect him again and again. The people should decide how long they serve.
