    This is nonsense; corruption takes time. New members will be more resistant to lobbying, not less.

      The presidency has had almost a century of term limits. That has not actually stopped the centralization of power to the office of the presidency.

        Yes, but there is less than would be otherwise. Or are you suggest lifetime president would be less corrupt?

      Writing legislation is a skill developed over time. It’s like saying a doctor needs term limits, do you want a new doctor or one with years of experience?
