The Representarian Party-Part Fifteen (Session One)

The Representarian Party-Part Fifteen (Session One) 

To abide by the ideals of Representative Governance, term limits are needed. However, they should not be too restrictive. For example, in Virginia, the governor can only serve one term for four years. This highly restrictive limit does the following:

1. It confers too much authority to the power brokers such as political parties, PACs, Bar Associations, and other private entities.

2. It gives non-cabinet bureaucratic heads too much authority as they will not be supervised properly. It also gives members of the legislative branch too much authority as well. When public officeholders have too much authority, it threatens the Checks And Balances that has to exist between the three branches of government.

3. It disrupts the continuity of service by the head of the state executive branch. There has to be a certain amount of consistency for the executive branch to function properly.
