The Representarian Party-Part Fifteen (Session Seven)

 The Representarian Party-Part Fifteen (Session Seven)

Term limits for judges should be one term. The judiciary should be the least political and the most insulated of all the three branches from popular will. This is due to the fact that that branch is required to utilize the least amount of discretion in citing opinions on how the law should be applied to all cases of controversy. Therefore, it must have the strictest term limits both in number of years and term(s) served.

Term limits should be less restrictive for people who either physically administer the law, either via enforcement or inspection, or who supervise and regulate those who do. That is why those in the executive branch should serve no more than two terms. 

Term limits should be the least restrictive for those who make the law because they allowed to use the most discretion and also because they do not have an active role in governance. Those who make the law on behalf of the "State" should serve no more than three five-year terms in the federal and state legislature. Those who make the law on behalf of the "People" should be allowed to serve a maximum of four three-year terms. 

The reason why term limits in the upper house(federal and state senate) should be more restrictive than the lower house(representative and delegate/assembly) is that they need to be more insulated from popular will than the other cameral legislative house. Their decisions affect the nation as a whole more so than the lower house in the federal and state legislative branch. Therefore, the upper house is required to be more impartial than the lower house, the house that makes laws on behalf of the "People".
