Good riddance Hatch! I’m a 34 y/o lifelong constituent. You’ve been in office LONGER THAN I HAVE BEEN ALIVE!
-
That just sounds so wrong. No one should serve in office that long.
-
Good news! if the GOP succeeds in their attempts to rewrite healthcare, safety, and other laws, not many of us will be alive that long either.

83yrs old, 41yrs in Congress & was able to amass a net worth of over $4M. People should not be able to make a career out of politics. We need term limits.
-
Yes we do!
#VotesandPrayers -
Term limits likely would just empower lobbyists and make money even more important.
#bettersolutionsavailablevote -
Lobbyists aren’t already empowered?
-
They are, but term limits would give them institutional memory and longer term power. And term limits don’t guarantee a better representative. Term limits are not a panacea.
-
No, but they're a start.
-
I don’t think anyone can predict the full set of consequences of term limits, they will be mixed, but there are risks that can be identified by people who work in legislatures every day. Intelligent voting would be a better solution even if almost a utopian idea.
-
I like the idea of both.

Sure now he can retire, he just passed a horrible tax bill that greatly benefits him and his family, and heirs. He wrote most of the tax scam.
-
Spot on.
@OrrinHatch good riddance
