Term limits don't fix those problems. Those problems are mostly rooted in the Citizens United legalization of bribery, and congressmen being allowed to play the stock market despite having insider information. End money in politics, and the age thing fixes itself, because big money won't be protecting their investment until the last possible moment when time renders that impossible.

Term limits are not needed. Elections are there if people want to change who occupies the office. For the House, it's every two years. Term limits force the good ones with years of experience out and risk someone winning who knows nothing about the job.

@@southtxblues It also means that Congress is considered just a stepping stone in your corporate career, rather than a career unto itself. Which, in turn, means that congressmen will kiss corporation rears even more than they do now, since they will view their time in congress as little more than an extended corporate job interview. Term limits are just an insane idea that misunderstands the problem. The problem is legalized bribery.

Wow, that didn’t take long! 0:45 LBJ stepped aside, not because he was perceived to be too old or somehow incapable of doing the job. He stepped aside because he had allowed U.S. involvement in Viet Nam to get out of hand and he knew it. The January 1968 Tet Offensive, more or less sealed the deal. His approval ratings were in the tank. The untimely assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, and the third-place contender, Eugene McCarthy from Minnesota, not being that well known, left Johnson’s vice-president, Herbert Humphrey, to become the Democratic Party’s nominee. It is truly unfortunate that guests, including supposedly objective guest reporters, are allowed to spew nonsense that misinforms the audience. Approval ratings are a totally subjective gauge of public perception, which has nothing to do with actual capability. Debates are circus shows for television audiences. They are not the least bit reflective of how a president of the United States does his job on a daily basis.

Replace him immediately so we have a couple weeks to get used to a Democratic nominee with a pulse. At least we could have a chance before we inevitably lose this thing to the grifter.

Yeah, I agree with @elainecoyle2704 that Doggett himself needs to step aside and retire.!!!! President Biden has been a part of the Congress and Vice President a couple of terms and now President, who the heck do you know has the intelligence, the know-how, the incredible colleague friendships and contacts this President has and because of one bad debate his own party wants to push him out of the way. I think there are quite a few American voters that would otherwise argue with you about that including quite a few ex-supporters of Trump. After all we still have our Democracy and The Constitution so what's the hurry unless you've been bought out by Maga Republicans. Don't start attacking the President before the 2024 Presidential Election.
