...for all elected offices--local, state, and federal. A desire to perform public service is one thing, but being a career politician is a whole different scenario, and a huge problem.
Sure, if you want to go from state rep to governor, then keep going. If you want to go from a Senator or Governor to the Presidency, then keep going. But if you want to be a Senator in one state, in the same district for the remainder of your natural life--NO. You've got X# of terms/years to accomplish what you want to accomplish, and that's it. Move up or move out.
There should not be "seniority" in the House and Senate. Not saying that "junior" members of Congress aren't bought and paid for before they are elected, but they shouldn't be allowed to hang-around forever and then gain "influence".
