Letter: Career politicians should become things of the past

Thursday, July 15, 1999 | 9:41 a.m.

The founding fathers set it up for men (at that time) to serve their terms and then head back to the farms. They knew what they were doing.

The president is limited to eight years in office. No one should serve longer. How about senators serving a limit of six years and house members a limit of four years. Four, six, eight and out the gate.

You might ask "What about experience?" We have plenty of experience in the Washington bureaucracy.

Let us take all career politicians and head 'em up and move them out.
