Term limits won’t solve the problem of unprincipled career-politicians. An interesting fact is that California has term limits. Unfortunately, it hasn’t helped them much. An uninformed electorate would continue electing power-seeking politicians until they were enslaved by them.
And that’s exactly the problem: an uninformed electorate.
