Show Notes
On today’s episode of Hear Me Out: self-limiting.
Congress is historically unpopular; it’s one of the few things that people on both sides of the aisle can agree on. But what could be done to actually fix our legislature?
Term limits are often posed as a good potential start. But there are those who argue that that’s not the best way to fix our legislature — and the pool of people who feel that way isn’t exclusively career politicians, either.
Charlie Hunt, a professor at Boise State University, joins us to argue against term limits.
