VOTING:
If I were a member in congress then I would vote for and by the people I represented. As in they should vote the way the majority of their districts would vote. Although many things might change when the representative reaches congress, they should always have in mind who they are representing and why they are representing them. The people should have the final say in the matter at hand, so go with the constituents and not the conscience. They need to believe in the choices of the people, and unless it is so obviously wrong always side with them.

TERMS
I believe that term limits are undemocratic. The person that is most popular, that represents the peoples wants should be the one if office, even if this means he or she has been an incumbent for many years. Democracy is for the people and by the people, terms limits don't allow the people to be represented as they want if the term limits exist. Another point is maybe eight years of presidency is not enough time for a president to get what he wants done or what the country wants done, good things take time and thats what a lot of positions need. Overall I believe that term limits are undemocratic and the consituents should ultimately decide if who should hold a position in office.
