of corse there should be term limits these people become embedded like a tick and are hard as hell to get out.If they couldnt make things work in 2 terms what makes anyone think they will do better in 10 terms.Plus what about 150k salary not bad for a part time job I work full time and dont even make 1/2 of that and if I dont do my job right(I am an electrician) somebody's house store office would burn down.

Given the nature of our world, there should absolutely be a limit. I agree with the previous poster, one term for Senate and two terms maximum for the House. We have given them too much power over us and no longer represent us.
Absolutely there should be term limits! It is absurd to think that these people in DC can serve multiple terms, sometimes even lifetime terms, and still remember that THEY WORK FOR US! They become completely out of touch with WE, The American Citizens, and their JOB becomes a "career", a career of only taking more power for themselves. I would let Senators serve only one term, and Representatives can serve 2 terms. And NO MORE LIFETIME BENEFITS! They can get a job in the private sector!
