Term limits should be in place for all facets of elected government. My thought is no more than 2 consecutive terms, period. The precedent for two terms is set by the US Constitution with regards to the consecutive length of time a President may hold office. This should be extended down through the ranks. If someone wishes to make a lifelong commitment to serve in public office, they should be able to do so by working their way through many of the various levels of elected office.

I do not think anyone should be a mayor of a city for this length of time, it undermines democracy. It’s time for term limits.
