This is something that has bugged me ever since I learned of the discrepancy between the offices of Senator or Representative and President.  Too many of these Senators/Representatives are firmly entrenched, and their constituencies just keep voting for them because they've "always been in office."  Thank you for making this petition!

I joined this to help fight for the reduction of taxes and government, as a whole. I agree in term limitations but have to see reality. We are asking congress to limit the time they have at their jobs. If they do allow a bill on the floor for a vote, they WILL put in a grandfather clause to protect those already in office. I can see a 2 term rule for the senate as they have 6 year terms. If they can't get done what they set out to do in 12 years, they need to find another job, anyway. For the house, I think they might need a  little more time. They only get 2 year terms which means the house would be full a "lame ducks". You can't get anything done in congress with-in 4 years. It just can't happen. I have to show my reality side though I did sign the petition.
