Many countries allow only one month of campaigning. In the US it seems like we must endure almost constant campaigning, lobbying, and fundraising. As far as term limits go, if I could change US Government, I would have a max of 2 terms of 5 years for Supreme Court Justices. They are NOT worth their lifetime appointment, none of them...........even Ruth Bader Ginsberg.
