Good point, I'll change it to say not only, but yes, I think term limits makes one a lame-duck from day one in the last term, and removes nearly all the responsibility for those so inclined.

BTW, McCain's presidential election committee (during the primary) had him running as a "one term and out" promise (because he was old, had cancer, etc. They thought it would help with his election). He got all the way to the day he was going to make that announcement, then they backed off. They determined it would render him mostly useless in office. I agree.
