    Sharyl Attkisson Retweeted Chris Livesay

    Perhaps but then knowing they only had, say, 4 yrs in public office might make them spend the whole 4 yrs shilling for the next private job.https://twitter.com/LivesayChris/status/936806193393045504 …

    Sharyl Attkisson added,

    Chris Livesay @LivesayChris
    @SharylAttkisson, do you think congressional term limits would help to keep people's behavior in check and be more focused on their job since they would know their time was limited? Wouldn't allow someone to wield so much power over long period of time.

        As opposed to shilling for their next election! We need term limits. How can so many politicians become millionaires while in office?

        Would also make lobbyists and veteran staffs even more influential, that's a bad thing.

        I see your point. I don't think it has to be little as 4 but do you think someone like Conyers at 88 can add substance to the job? I see people in Congress I guarantee have very little understanding of tech and role it plays in everything. Can they still make informed decisions?

        Best argument against I've heard, lobbyists/special interests would know more about govt & workings than politicians & would run them. Kinda do now don't they? I like this because of consecutive.pic.twitter.com/FoLL8sb8ia

        The donor networks are the real problem, not the people who occupy the seats. Term limits would only work with campaign & lobby finance reform

        I'd like to see a ban on lobbying and working for a government contractor for all former elected Congress politicians.
