RE: Term Limits Poll for AMA EC
I'm against term limits, but maybe for the wrong reasons.
I consider Term Limits to be a patched solution against idiot voters. The idea is that most voters always vote for the name they are most familiar with, so you have to impose term limits in order to clear the plate and give the new guys a chance. Wasn't there a movie with Eddie Murphy based on that concept? In any case, I guess I was hoping that AMA members were a little brighter than that. If the new guy is a real doorknob, I want the option of picking the incumbent.
However, I hadn't thought that the lack of term limits means fewer people will step up for the seat. That could be an issue.
Is it possible to impose term limits, yet permit the incumbent to stay if nobody steps up?
