The voting public feels helpless? When the voting public actually is more than the group that isn't apathetic, I'd believe you.
If NO ONE wishes to run for office, then what? What happens then?
As I stated before the framers were well aware of the idea of "for life" since they were under the tyranny of King George. There was no choice of election. They allowed in this experiment the ability to not have someone hold office for their lifetime or the constituents lifetime.
So again, the issue isn't about term limits, it's about creating the desire for other people to run for public office. Why didn't you run for public office? Jefferson felt it was his duty to run for public office, why wouldn't you take your turn? What's stopping you from running against a career politician?
