Term Limit Analysis

After reading both passages, both authors take opposite approaches to how they feel on term limits. The author from passage A supports the idea of establishing term limits. Establishing term limits would change congress in various ways. The author supports the idea and believes it is a benefit. Supported by most American demographic groups, term limits can “hinder corruption and the effects that lobbyists have upon the government by breaking established connections between lobbyists and the legislators in power, and by reducing the sway future campaign donations have.” On the other hand, the author from passage B supports the idea that term limits do not need a restriction on power of the Federal government as long experienced professionals
are in charge. In the government term limits should be ran by people that have experience and should not be based on citizen legislators alone. The author states” we needed individuals with the self-confidence, the experience, the wisdom and the judgment to be able to negotiate issues of war and peace. We get these people from the crucible of politics and experiences.” In the end, author A supports term limits in the U.S congress compared to author B who is against it.
