2. Give them four years, but establish a one- or two-term limit

Same for the Senate.

And the limit should be reciprocal between both chambers; you can serve a total of two terms in the House or the Senate, or else one term in each.

IMO, 2 years is too long to be able to get rid of a candidate who got your vote through napi21 Oct 2016 #1
