In 2016, John Ryan, now mayor of Alsip, helped lead the push for a three term limit. More than 80% of voters approved it.

Now, with Ryan serving his third term as mayor, voters are being asked whether that limit should be extended to four terms. If it passes, he could run again.

It's a local example of why limits on time in office matter. We believe the same applies to Congress.

Thomas Sowell is an economist and author who has written extensively about government, and political incentives. He believed that a career in Congress was not meant to last a lifetime. Term limits address the real problem one that is a structural issue. Do you think term limits would improve Congress?

Changing Congress starts with changing the incentives in the system. Term limits can help put more emphasis on making an difference in the present, rather than campaigning for what comes next. Do you agree?

Congress was meant to be public service, not a permanent way of life. But when there is no limit on terms, the perks and privileges of Washington can become part of the routine, and some lawmakers retire in spirit long before they retire from office. Term limits help keep service temporary and accountable.

The longer lawmakers stay in Washington, the more time special interests have to build relationships and influence around them. And those relationships can become valuable to lawmakers too, expanding the networks and access that come with years in office. Congressional term limits would bring regular turnover and make entrenched influence harder to build on both sides.

When 19-year-old Gregory Watson wrote a college term paper arguing that a forgotten 1789 amendment could still be ratified, his professor gave him a "C" and told him it was impossible.

He didn't listen.

Long before social media or the internet, Watson launched a relentless, self-funded campaign. Over 200 years after James Madison introduced it, the measure crossed the finish line to become the 27th Amendment.

His school many years later changed his grade from a C to an A.

This shows just how possible congressional term limits are with enough citizen support. Sign the petition to term limit Congress: termlimits.com/petitionfb

With National Day of Democracy yesterday and National Constitution day tomorrow it feels like an appropriate time to share a reminder from President Truman on how term limits would help fix our government. What do you think was he correct?

Today is International Day of Democracy.

Thomas Jefferson proposed regular rotation in Congress in 1776 because he understood the danger of staying in office too long.

Congressional term limits carry that principle forward by helping keep power moving and public service temporary.
