Either you support term limits or you don't, but term limits are obviously not some radical idea.

I generally support them, but this particular amendment has coterminous terms for the three top offices, which would have the three highest officials simultaneously running for re-election.

If they created an amendment that staggered them or had different lengths of terms, sure, but this one just seems primed for officials checking out to campaign every other term while still on the job. There is an amendment out there I'd support, but it's not this one.

I know, right? I got downvoted to oblivion. But I support term limits generally, I think a healthy democracy doesn't have career politicians.
