Term Limits Now: Fire Career Politicians, Hire Citizen-Legislators
The men who wrote the Constitution never imagined Congress as a permanent address.
Jay Rogers | May 30, 2026

I spent thirty years in wealth management and investments; testifying as an expert witness in federal and state courts on fiduciary duty; and coaching high school track, football, and rugby.  One lesson holds across every one of those arenas: You don’t keep a coach who goes 0-10 every season. You bench him, hire someone who can actually win, and get back to work.

In Washington, we do the opposite.  We keep returning the same professional politicians who have turned trillion-dollar deficits into routine line items, open borders into settled policy, and press conferences into self-serving moments trying to get a viral sound bite.  Career politicians are not a feature of the republic the Founders designed.  They represent a bad habit that we just can’t break.

Certainly would be representative of citizens, but I question whether we want some of the dregs of society representing the rest of us.

On the positive side, a lot less lawyers as our reps

We could use Jury Pools as the basis for drawing names.  Better class of dregs....
