Term Limit

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 may not serve more than two terms. 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.[1]
