Essay On The Pros And Cons Of Congressional Term Limits

I believe that the President of the United States should be allowed to do more term if properly voting in. The Twenty-Second Amendment to the United States Constitution says that no person can be elected President of the United States more than twice. President Franklin Roosevelt was the first and only President to successfully break Washington's tradition, and he died in office while serving his fourth term. Most would argue that it is not fair running for more than two terms, but if the President was actually good in his two terms wouldn’t you want him to be president again or take a risk of electing one of the two new candidates that has no clue how things work at that level.
The Founding Fathers who composed the Constitution did, actually, consider and dismiss the possibility of congressional term limits. In Federalist Papers No. 53, James Madison, father of the

Constitution, clarified why the Constitutional Convention of 1787 rejected term limits. Madison wrote "[A] few of the members of Congress will possess superior talents; will by frequent re-elections, become members of long standing; will be thoroughly masters of the public business, and perhaps not unwilling to avail themselves of those advantages. The greater the proportion of new members of Congress, and the less the information of the bulk of the members, the more apt they be to fall into the snares that may be laid before them,".
There are always pro and cons having term limits.

Some are the Pros and cons: Limits the corruption and influence obtained by being a member of Congress. Allows them to get to complacent, by doing just an average job. Term limits kick out the great officials who may should remain in office for brilliant work. In this field learning and adapting is key, and Congress is no exemption. Lawmakers that leave office take with them a ton of experience and contacts that are fundamental to complete things. New officials would need to build up these up from almost nothing. Bringing new ideas perhaps to fix a problem that has been happening for many years. Thinking out of the box, instead of the same old ideas. New individuals will probably think of brand new ideas and think out of the box. The longer you practice something, the better you should get at it. Indeed, term limits would wipe out a portion of the degenerate, control eager and incapable and unfit officials, yet it would likely dispose of all the decent and efficient ones. Earning the people’s trust and proving themselves to be competent

leaders.
I think the third amendment is obsolete, unless of course we have a war on our own soil by another country. Which I believe is very doubtful that this could happened, but not impossible. Possibly modify it to where it says No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law, unless we are ever invaded by another country.
The second amendment is pretty clear in the constitution, but is modified depending in the states you live in. Certain weapons cannot be bought according to state. Every state in United States you can own a gun rifle, or shotgun with a gun permit, but there are exceptions. For example, some states you cannot own an assault rifle, but can own a handgun shotgun or open bolt rifle. Some state does not allow silencer or suppressors and some states do. Full automatic weapons are not illegal in the northeast but very hard to get this type of permit. I believe the second amendment is very important having my right to bear arms to protect myself and others from foreign or domestic threats. Waiting for a law enforcement agency might not be the best policy when your life is on the line and have no time for a response.
