Set term limits

It is obvious that the voters are tired of our do-nothing Congress, and there is mention of term limits on all elected positions. I am interested in giving the voters a chance to sound off on the issue by a yea or nay in the November election. Such choices would be to oust incumbents who have served more than two terms. If it is good enough for the president, it is certainly good enough for those who want the obscene salaries without doing anything. Also end all PACs.
