Should Congress have limited terms?

The President of the United States can only serve two terms. Why shouldn't Congress have to follow the same guide lines?

Update:

Duh! The president is also elected but can only serve two terms!

    Yes, they should only be allowed to serve 2 elected terms. Also, they should not be able to get a retirement or any special health care package. They are men and women who are like you and me. Nothing special except they got elected. We don't get a retirement check from any job after we quit or lose re-election. That's my thoughts.

    w/o question these people make a career out of tax dollars and make decisions out of their own agenda's, we pay their salaries cover them with top notch health care they end their careers with exorbitant retirement packages. And we the public foot the bill and they have the gall to swindle whatever they can and repetitively run a smoke and mirror show as they skirt and double talk their way through actual things that may benefit the public. The entire system needs to be shut down and reconfigured top eliminate greed and blatant deception.

    Yes and that should include all elected positions down to the local level. There should be no retirement from an elected position.

    they should only be able to serve once, and the president as well. that way we can avoid diasters like the current regime in charge.
