it was george mason of virginia who argued that nothing is so essential to the preservation of a republican government as a periodic rotation of its representatives. for his part, rufus king of new york insisted that he who has proved himself to be most fit for an office ought not to be excluded by the constitution from holding it. in theory, both are right. a governmental turnover is undeniably healthy for any republic, especially for one as large and diverse as we are. meanwhile, disqualifying unusually capable legislators from serving would be a definite loss our country. the philosophical argument about term limits can be a close call, as it was in 1787. unlike our founders, however, we do not have to confine our debate to theoretical abstractions. we can draw on real-world experience, with our 230-year-old system, and especially, its performance over the last few decades. the practical case for term limits, mr. chairman, is no longer a close call. have to speculate, as the founders did, that the prospect of a permanent tenure in congress might tempt the senators and representatives tow
