CT – Did You Hear the Question, Senator?

In the summer of 1787, the idea of term limits for Congress wasn’t seen as a necessity. So what changed between 1787 and 2023? were politicians in the early part of the American Republic somehow more virtuous or “better” than than those of today?

Would introducing Term Limits on Congress today make any difference in the way we are governed by people who increasingly are “more experienced?” In point of fact, why do we associate age with the necessary experience for being a member of the political leader caste?

As the call becomes louder for Term Limits on Congress, have we considered why the Framers did NOT establish them to begin with? And what has changed so that today they might be a better option?

It’s the question, is it time for Congressional term limits?
