No, I would say rather than his record is a very good case against term limits for Congress. He's done a great job.

Yes it does.

you haven't listed anything that does present a strong case for term limits.

It presents a strong case against term limits. 16 times, every two years, voters in his district had the chance to vote him out of office. Instead they kept returning him to Washington. They must have liked the job he was doing. He is retiring now because he is 71 years old.
