'''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.  

The [[President of the United States]] is limited by the [[Twenty-Second Amendment]] to two [[term]]s.

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.

A movement to enact term limits on U.S. and state legislative bodies was popular during the 1990s and inspired a number of [[ballot initiative]]s.
