Week 6 Individual 
Term Limits
Senators and House Representatives are directly elected by the citizens. They have no term limits.
The President is elected by the Electoral College.  The President has a two-term limit.
Some feel that term limits would be a good idea for all federally-elected officials.
Search the Internet for one opinion for each side - one that supports term limits, one that does not.  Write a three-paragraph paper:
•	Paragraph one: What are the arguments for term limits?
•	Paragraph two: What are the arguments against term limits?
•	Paragraph three: What is your opinion?  Which arguments did you find most convincing?
Be sure to include the web sites you used in your research and the dates you retrieved the information.
