It's a tradition that every president honored up until FDR, who obviously served four terms and died in office, at which point Congress passed the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution. But true to form, the 22nd Amendment, they applied it to the executive, they didn't apply it to themselves.

So if we can all agree that term limits make sense for the executive, why pray tell wouldn't it make sense for the legislature or the judiciary for that matter? if we believe that we want new blood coming in through the system, that that's an essential ingredient to democracy, why wouldn't we support that across the board?

Quite a few, but not too many that are actually like real legitimate caucuses. With Honor is great, the for country caucus. That's a problem solvers version, but there are people that served in the military. Right.

No doubt, John. I mentioned before I was in Congress, I was an FBI agent. I ran the FBI's corruption unit here at headquarters in D.C. And not only was there a correlation, there was a direct linear correlation between the length of time in office and the instances of corruption.

Because what we found was that the most principled, well-intended backbone people that come into the system, when all you see all day, every day is people flaunting those lines, that becomes the new normal. And then that becomes the normal way to conduct oneself. So you are absolutely right that the lobbyists are way, way too powerful.

John, way back in 1993, there was this Bill Clinton. As soon as he got elected, he started, created what they call the re-embedding government initiative. And they, I believe, downsized the federal workforce by 280,000. And they did it in a normal, humane manner.

And if you want to make government more efficient, a good starting point is to go to the agency head and say, hey, can you find 10%, 12%? of your budget that you can trim in a responsible manner. What we're seeing now is the Silicon Valley approach where you walk into the library, you dump all the books off the bookshelf onto the floor. That's interesting.
