Term Limits. Members of the United States House of Representatives shall be limited to serving no more than four two-year terms in their lifetime.

Members of the United States Senate shall be limited to serving no more than two six-year terms in their lifetime. 

The two-term limit for President shall remain unchanged. Serving as a member of Congress or as the President of the United States is one of the highest honors and privileges our culture can bestow.

These positions of power and prominence in our society should be sought to serve one’s country and not provide a lifetime career designed to increase personal wealth and power.
