I'm less likely to support that. Kicking them out of one office gives them some disadvantage. If the voters really want them, even in some new office, I say let them. You may get me behind straight term limits (perhaps a limit on consecutive terms).

I don't think there should be any career politicians. With ten to twelve years you are short of a career but beyond a temporary duty. So you would have to see it as a phase in a broader career of diplomacy or law or something. If you went for a shorter period 2-4 years you could look at it as a duty that you leave your occupation for as a temporary responsibility. In general, how do you see this working out for the representatives? I realise that specific cases would all be different.
