Reasonable Term Limits & benefits for Congress (We still need people with experience)

We should not swing the pendulum too far where our country is run by the inexperienced. Also, we do not want to remove the population’s ability to select the best person for the job. Therefore, I propose these reasonable limits:

Legislative Branch term limits should be set to 24 years of service
-4 (6yr) terms of the Senate
-12 (2yr) terms in the House

Full retirement benefits are only received after 12 years. It is proportionally diminished for lesser time served (i.e., 6yrs= 1/2 benefits)

This solution maintains the government’s Balance of Power:
Executive Branch/ President- 2 terms (strict limit)
Legislative Branch - 24 years (moderate limit)
Judicial Branch - lifetime
