Anti-Incumbent Amendment

In this Republic, we elect our President, Senators and Representatives for 4-year, 6-year and 2-year terms. Once elected. They seem to spend a lot of time trying to get re-elected. Many people recommend term limits. I suggest we have non-consecutive terms instead.

Benefits: - It would end the advantage of incumbents. - It would increase turnover in government. - Elected officials would focus on governing instead of campaigning. - Elected officials would never campaign on taxpayer's time. - Voters would have an opportunity to review a prior candidate's record. - Voters would be able to compare candidates on a near equal footing.
