A term limit is a law that limits the amount of time a political representative may hold an elected office. In the U.S. the office of the President is restricted to two four year terms. There are currently no term limits for Congressional terms but various states and cities have enacted term limits for their elected officials at the local level.

No, because it will grab the opportunity of political dynasties to run from 1st to the next generation which is a waste of time for others

First off, the National People's Congress is the legislature of China, so there's no possible way that I can give a sound opinion on the NATIONAL PEOPLE'S CONGRESS.
@935LQR83yrs3Y
National People's Congress? It's just called Philippine Congress, if memory serves. But, yes. We not only must limit terms for members of the Lower and Upper House.

Decreased their salary & retirement benefits and they should never be able to run again for power & wealth gain
