Term Limits: “The means relied on in this form of government for preventing their [elected rulers] degeneracy, are numerous and various. The most effectual one is such a limitation on the term of appointments, as will maintain a proper responsibility to the people.” (Fed No. 62)

And yes, scolding scholars, I know he was talking about term of office, not terms of office. But doesn’t the logic apply? Limiting time spent in office is the most effective way to limit the “degeneracy” of electeds. Those who serve 30 yrs form an aristocracy. We can’t have that.
