What people who support term limits don't seem to realize is that by
limiting ELECTED officials terms (although it is probably a moot point
anyway, since it seems to be really unconstitutional), you are allowing
far more power to be in the hands of UNELECTED officials. All the
congressional aides, etc. who are hired to keep the place running, for
example.
