It takes years for one to become a good legislator. A congress of neophytes will be even more susceptible to the influence of lobbyists than even the current congress.
Instead of term limits we need spending limits on campaigns so that challengers are on a more equal footing with incumbents. Let the voters decide when it's time for legislators to stay and go.
