Abstract

The article focuses on the term limits of veterans on legislative positions in the U.S. It is stated that when term limits were disclosed, open seats in the upper chamber were often won by legislators who were expelled from lower chambers. Term-limited states in the U.S. include professional legislatures, such as California and Michigan, and part-time legislatures, such as Montana and Maine. Term limits were adopted by voters in Michigan in 1992, but their implementation was staggered.
