Congressional Term Limits
«

At the Tea Party Coalition Forum Tuesday Senatorial Candidate Pat Toomey stated that he did not run for his Representative seat because he promised he would serve only (I think) 3 terms. Any thoughts on term limits being set as law?
One potential result being nonprofessional, non-serving for life politicians, opening up the field to more potential candidates. Or, would it dilute the talent pool and bring a more nonprofessional, unproductive stock of legislators to office? What would be reasonable term limits for both Houses? Two terms for Senators, four terms for Representatives. Perhaps non-consecutive terms?
Another thought: Would any Congressman/woman have the political courage to propose and pursue a paycut for Congress? A reduction in the benefits they receive? Health benefits for life? You have to be kidding me. Who works for who here?
Any thoughts or opinions?
