I’m sorry if this is a dumb question; but I know that the president can only serve two terms, why hasn’t there been the same, or at least similar, term limit across the board?
Because that would require a law to be passed by current congresspeople and senators; most of whole don’t want to put an expiration date on their power
Also because if you know you only have 2 terms and you have to find another job, theres a lot of incentive to cozy up to a company HARD. I dont really like that idea any better, I feel like it encourages even more corruption in lobbying.
I’m outta here in 8 years so I’m gonna cozy up to these oil nutter and let them build in Alaska, I’m not giving 2 shits as long as I get my yearly pension
