Many US states have term limits already. Their positive impact on governance has been nil. They just shift more power to the party apparatchiks, lobbyists and the civil service (someone has to have institutional knowledge, and it there’s a revolving door, the elected people never have time to acquire it). And when someone’s about to be termed out, their final year in office is a scramble to find their next political post.
