Term limits for political offices can have profound implications for governance. They aim to prevent careerism, potentially infusing new perspectives and ideas within legislatures. By periodically introducing fresh leadership, term limits may enhance democratic accountability and reduce the entrenchment of power, encouraging more competitive elections. However, critics argue that these limits can lead to a loss of experienced legislators and diminish long-term policy planning. Moreover, term limits may inadvertently empower unelected staff and lobbyists, who may possess more continuity and influence than elected officials subject to these restrictions.
