Limiting Terms of Elected Officials
Hyde does not rationalize his opinion very well. The highest office in our land, that of the presidency, is limited to two terms, eight years. (I wonder why?)
We must begin to get laws passed to limit all publicly elected officials to two terms for their elective office, and then require that they sit out the equivalent of one term before again running for an elective office.
This is certain to eliminate or minimize the problems developed by the Montoyas, the Bradleys and others that cost the taxpayers million to investigate.
Just think how those millions could help the schools, the sick, the homeless, the elderly!
