What if we had a 20/20 rule for elected office?•Never more than 20 years in ALL elected office regardless of level AND •As you reach 20 years from average life expectancy of all Americans, you become ineligible to run for re-election.This would:1. Prevent letting people make long-term policy on things that will never impact them2. Create opportunities to elect new people for new generations3. Incentivise actual improvement to healthcare, housing, & food to increase total life expectancy

@QasimRashid If we had that rule, we'd exclude experienced people with good ideas, for a completely arbitrary reason.There's no version of term limits that is any better than simply electing better candidates.
