   #Thinking_out_loud: I think (1) reelection campaigns are unnecessarily distracting; Presidents should be capped at one term, even if the term is extended a little (to 5-6 years); and (2) Congressionals should likewise be limited to a single term.

      I fully agree on term limits for all elected people but I can see an issue with a one and done, esp as "fast" as the govt moves with anything. I would think a 5 year term and total of two terms. A term would also include if someone is appointed to a seat for whatever reason until the next election.
      
      On the flip side, can you imagine the damage that could be done in 5-6 years vs 4 years? Someone who shall remain nameless would still be in there...
