3, Note some pitfalls of incumbency that may be used to challenge an incumbent. This could include perceptions of ineffective performance, or perceived character flaws.
4, Explain that incumbency can benefit society by having experienced leaders in office. Note that it can also create legislators who enjoy something akin to lifetime tenure, which can serve as a roadblock to change and encourage ethics abuses.
