Why is it that only the President has 2 term limit, and Judges and Legislators can hold office for ever?

I know our founding fathers did not put term limits---but is it fair for our judges and legislators to hold office till they die or become senile---in fact, judging by the voting record of many, some are already there---I mean senility has set in!

You can of course answer this question, but do me a favor---go to your representatives' voting and bill-initiation record and find out if they are any good. Many legislators have been holding office for 6,7 terms, and their key accomplishment seems to be bringing pork and not thinking of national interests. No wonder they fight lower taxes and have spin-masters running their web-sites!

For those of you who are history buffs, read Gibbons' Roman Empire history---lots of similarities in the decadence and apathy that prevailed in the Roman Senate.

One way is to get some fresh blood in the other two branches of the Government.

Actually, the 22nd Amendment (which limits presidents to two full terms in office) had little to do with senility or political concerns, and more for the concern that America would end up with a "benevolent dictator" who would wield great power that he or she gathered over time.
