Senators should be representatives of us, not chosen by the party. If this is the case, there should not be a term limit on the people's demands.
@93FPNVW2yrs2Y
No they should be allowed to represent their state until they want to retire.
@9332WX32yrs2Y
No, but have vote of no confidence to remove officials who are no longer representing the people at large, just their sponsors and "mates".
