I see each politician choosing differently. One might serve one term as Representative and hope to save the remaining years to serve as Senator and President. Others would burn through all twelve years as Representative and then whine about their rights. Some might choose to serve two terms as Senator. Someone might serve as Senator and then as President, and run again knowing his Vice President would have to complete the term. Obviously a two term President like Clinton or President Bush would probably not care about unused years after they served. Just as I would not care that I might die without using any of mine.

I do think it is important to put a lifetime ceiling on the combined service regardless of office.

Career politicians are a cancer upon our political system.
