Our Founding Fathers indicated a desire for term limits as during the American Revolution, delegates to the Continental Congress were limited to three one-year terms over a period of six years under the Articles of Confederation. While our founders did not include this in the Constitution, their actions demonstrated that they believed in the principle of term limits through self regulation. The appointment of senior Congressmen to permanent committees has created career politicians. Limiting terms for Congress will limit stagnation and encourage compromise like that of our nation's birth. When members of Congress spend less time campaigning for the next election cycle they spend more time crafting legislation that improves our country. Focusing in on Congress' duty to America, our representatives can do as John Adams discussed, "If the way to do good to my country were to render myself popular, I could easily do it. But extravagant popularity is not the road to public advantage."
