George Wills' Case For Term Limits
"Congress increasingly attracts people uninterested in reversing its institutional anemia. They are undeterred by — perhaps are attracted by — the fact that they will not be responsible for important decisions such as taking the nation into war. As Congress becomes more trivial, its membership becomes less serious. It has an ever-higher portion of people who are eager to make increasingly strenuous exertions to hold offices that are decreasingly consequential. To solve the braided problems of 'a proconsular presidency or a quietistic Congress,' Weiner advocates congressional term limits." George Will in The Washington Post.
