Elected Officials Should Have Term Limits In Office

Term limits refers to the number of terms that an elected official can hold in office. They cannot run for office after they reached that set number. Each member of government has a different number of terms that they can hold their position for. The president can hold two terms on office. In Michigan, the governor and senator can each hold two terms in office at four years per term. The house can hold three terms in office, but only at two years per term. I believe that elected officials should have term limits. Term limits help limit power and corruption of a single person in office. If a person holds office for too long, they could start to use their power for self-interest and often lose sight of why they originally took office.
