That's what some political pundits tell us. Well, they should check their history books.
Term limits are nearly as old as democracy itself.
The ancient Greeks realized that even if elected democratically, elected officials could use their power to monopolize the office. Aristotle argued that term limits should be an essential part of any republic's constitution. Cicero, the famous Roman statesmen, was a strong believer in term limits. In America, term limits pre-date the constitution. And in fact, no less than the author of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson, opposed ratifying our constitution until two problems were fixed.
