Term limits are legal restrictions that set the maximum number of terms an elected official can serve in a particular office. These limits are designed to promote political diversity and prevent the concentration of power by encouraging new candidates to run for office. Term limits can apply to various positions, including Congressional seats, state legislatures, and local government roles. In the United States, some states have implemented term limits for their governors and state legislators, while others have not. Proponents argue that term limits can lead to fresh ideas and perspectives in government, while opponents believe they can result in a loss of experienced leadership and continuity in policy-making.
