Federal Term Limits: DeMint Is Not Deterred

(By Jillian Bandes, Townhall.com) - Sen. Jim DeMint's (R-S.C.) is resurrecting the debate about federal term limits with a new push to limit service by Members of the House and Senate to a maximum of twelve years. The main reason he is renewing efforts on this front is to curb the growth of government.

"We know a number of states have gone to this, and we know the reason for this," said Demint. "Accumulated power corrupts. And it's certainly corrupted the current Congress."
