Constitutional Amendment 28
by This is the first in a series of essays I will write pertaining to future amendments which I would like to see incorporated in our United States Constitution. In recent decades, many American politicians have been abusing their power, and whether your liberal or conservative, I think my ideas will appeal to everyone.
Amendment XXVIII
Section 1.
No person shall be elected to the House of Representatives more than a total of six times, and no person who has been a Representative , or acted as a Representative for more than one year of a term to which some other person was elected a Representative shall not be elected a Representative more than five times. But this amendment shall not apply to any person sitting in the House of Representatives until the beginning of their next term, should they be reelected.
No person shall be permitted to run again for any House of Representative seat after having served six terms. If an incumbent Representative is not reelected for a second term, or term there after, then they may run again for the seat they previously held at a later date.
Regardless of how many states a Representative shall represent during his terms of service, the total amount of terms served by such a Representative shall not exceed six.
Section 2.
No person shall be elected to the Senate more than thrice, and no person who has been a Senator, or acted as a Senator for more than three years of a term to which some other person was elected a Senator shall not be elected a Senator more than twice. But this amendment shall not apply to any person sitting in the Senate until the beginning of their next term, should they be reelected.
No person shall be permitted to run again for any Senate seat after having served three terms. If an incumbent Senator is not reelected for a second term, then they may run again for the seat they previously held at a later date. The same rule applies to those running for a third term.
Regardless of how many states a Senator shall represent during his terms of service, the total amount of terms served by such a Senator shall not accumulate to more than three.
Section 3.
There shall be no law passed restricting a Representative from running for the Senate after he has served his full six or fewer terms in the House of Representatives, unless he be expelled from the House of Representatives.
There shall be no law passed restricting a Senator from running for the House of Representatives after he has served his full three or fewer terms in the Senate, unless he be expelled from the Senate.

No more career polititions! 2 terms max for both the house and senate, then they can get a job like the rest of us. No more salaries for life and politicions should not be able to vote themselves a raise. It should go to public ballot when they want a raise. Oh and no more preferential healthcare plans. They need to be under the plan they voted in for the people. tThat includes the president and his family too.
