term limit amendments

Term limit amendments are changes to a constitution or set of laws that restrict how long a person can hold a specific public office, such as a governor or legislator. These amendments are intended to promote fresh ideas, prevent entrenched power, and encourage democratic competition. For example, they might specify a maximum number of terms an individual can serve in a particular role. When such amendments are adopted, they modify the existing rules to set clear limits on the tenure of elected officials, ensuring turnover and broader participation in government.
