Should politicians serve for life?

When Bill Clinton was impeached for lying under oath back in the 1990s many of the same politicians were in office as are in office today. People like Nancy Pelosi and Nadler were defending Clinton back then even as they attack Trump who hasn't committed any crimes today.

Given that so many politicians are in office for life it's not surprising that their loyalty is to each other not to their constituents.  Those politicians spend the vast majority of their time in DC reading DC newspapers and listening to what the ruling class of bureaucrats say.  Their constituents live in a different universe.

That's why we need term limits. The intent of the Founders was for people to suffer through a term or two and then go back to real life. That way they'd avoid passing laws that make life for people who aren't politicians worse.  But as it stands there is no reason for politicians to avoid passing bills that help them but hurt we the people.

We've seen this in the past.  Until Republicans took over Congress under Clinton Congress had exempted itself from the onerous laws that they had imposed on we the people.  The Republicans changed that.  When Obamacare was passed it exempted politicians.

We need politicians who care about we the people not just about themselves but so long as we allow such a large fraction of politicians to be elected for life that's not going to happen.
