    I’d thought about this and I came up with term limits instead. Holding office should be limited to 30 years over a lifetime. This should go across specific appointments such as federal reserve and senate.

    This prevents people from just staying on forever and accumulating too much power and favors. It also increases the turnover of politicians a lot more without breaking continuity and getting rid of the most qualified politicians.

    Not sure what the exact structure would be but I’d also increase the senate term lengths but add a 2 term limit. Governors also 2 term limits, house of reps 7 terms and president 2.

    I believe 100% that people in power become more corrupt over time and this fixes that but allows for long careers.
