This has effectively been banned in some US States with legislative term limits. So the state legislators never actually learn how to write effective legislation.

If the legislators don't know how laws work, guess who writes the laws?

All it takes is skimming the headlines when you search the news for "Missouri law" and you'll get a good idea of what the end result of this proposal is.

I get the impulse, but it just doesn't work.

Of course, thats the problem you have, not being a red state.

Maine has limits and seems to be okay.

Alabama doesn’t have limits and doesn’t seem to be okay.

Maybe the issue is something else? Hmm but what could it be that Alabama and Missouri have in common that Maine doesn’t?
