There is definitely a certain appeal to that. Drawbacks too, depending. I did a bit of reading on it a while back, and it turns out that our legal system is complex enough you need years to understand how to actually write a bill and pass it without huge unforeseen consequences. And while I'm mostly ok with our government failing to pass new bills, there are occasions where its possible it could be necessary.
That's a vast oversimplification but it took me from "WE NEED TERM LIMITS NOW!!" back to "OUR POLITICIANS ARE DOUCHEBAGS!!'
