Term Limits: 2
Age Limits: 70
Income Limits: $1-million net worth, not a penny more.
This would wipe out 80% of the politicians.

You get eight years, tops, to make a difference.
You don't run for office if you're older than 62.
You leave, no matter where you are in your political career at the age of 70.
Would you ban me from politics?
An elected political job has decidedly more influence than other jobs. If you're not going to be around to live with the laws you voted for, or against, you should not have the privilege.
You will not be deciding the laws of the land as a professor.

Like yourself, I continue to have much to offer, but I am not competing with younger people for jobs or political roles, nor should I.
I had my turn with all that.
