There is quite a controversy regarding this issue of term limits, in which a service in
             elective office after a fixed and specified number of terms is mandated. The idea of
             issuing term limits is not only a violation to the Constitution, but also a quick fix to a
             problem that may just end up causing severe repercussions down the line.
             Mandating term limits to deal with the corruption among congressmen is not a
             rational solution. If some pieces of the system were corrupt, term limits would essentially
             get rid of everyone, those affecting Congress both negatively and positively. Then new
             representatives are elected and they become corrupt and are soon thrown out, and this
             cycle of continuing corruption will go on, and not be fixed. Also, when we regard the fact
             that a term limit gives a congressman the freedom to only concern themselves with
             short-term legislation, and, knowing that they wont be around to have to deal with them,
             will take no regard to the long term consequences that their decisions may result in. They
             will focus on quick fixes that may appear efficient to the people, and help them gain
             popularity, but that may end badly down the road. The solution to corruption through
             term limits would, in reality, have the potential to increase corruption.
             Another negative aspect of term limits lies within the experience necessary to
             sufficiently carry out the duties of a member of Congress. If, after a certain number of
             terms, a member of Congress is replaced, amateurs who lack the years of experience that
             had been gained by their predecessors will fill their position. With an inexperienced
             legislative branch, the power if has weakens, thus disrupting the balance of powers, and
             additionally making the branch of government that most represents the people the least
             effective. This then leads to the fact that term limits interfere with the fundamental right
             of the voters to elect their repres...
