Same as the Presidency, no more than 8 years. They should also be subject to all the laws of the land, as we the people are, and not excempt from anything they pass.

It's about time we get to tell Congress how much they can do! This is my idea of 'term-limits':
1. for House of Rep. - no more than 4 terms - what you do not achieve in 8 years, is not going to happen!!
2. for Senate, 2 terms.... (same rationale)
3. for ALL FEDERAL EMPLOYEES - including Supreme Court Justices and ALL federal and state judges - retire with dignity at 70 !!!!.... open up positions for the young!!!!
4 NO retirement benefits for congress. NONE whatsoever. That way they have to get a REAL job as a taxpayer.
Cut their salaries by 90%. This is supposed to be a public SERVICE not a career.

Better than term limits is ABC - Anything But Careerists. Any politician who's been feeding from the public-funded trough all of his/her adult working life must be voted out, irrespective of party affiliation, and told to go find a real job.

It's about time we get to tell Congress how much they can do!!! for once!!!....in fact,this is my idea of 'term-limits':
1. for Congress - no more than 6 terms - what you do not achieve in 12 years, is not going to happen!!
2. for Senate, 2 terms.... (same rationale)
3. for ALL FEDERAL EMPLOYEES - including Supreme Court Justices and ALL federal and state judges - retire with dignity at 65!!!!.... open up positions for the young!!!!
