Term limits are popular among the public and have been overwhelmingly successful once on the ballot. Despite this, very little is known about the long-term effects of these institutional rules. If term limits were sold to the public to remove entrenched incumbents from office, how do they alter the careers of legislators and what are the implications? Butcher suggests that term limits do not end careers but instead, lawmakers have become more creative in their pursuits. She finds that the presence of term limits has created an new career system unique to those states that have limits. In each chapter, there is a quantitative analysis, followed by qualitative interviews to better understand the underlying motivations of members." -- $c Provided by publisher. 610 10 $a United States. $b Congress $x Term of office. 650 0 $a Legislators $x Term of office $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government. 651 6 $a Etats-Unis $x Politique et gouvernement. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9783031394232 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240417024255.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9CF13C68FC8011EE9ABF7B513DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
