Long past due. Get the professional politicians out of the business.


Ted Cruz Introduces Constitutional Amendment on Congressional Term Limits


Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) introduced a constitutional amendment Tuesday that would impose term limits on members of Congress, following up on a proposal made back in December.

“D.C. is broken,” Cruz said in a statement Tuesday evening. “The American people resoundingly agreed on Election Day, and President-elect Donald Trump has committed to putting government back to work for the American people. It is well past time to put an end to the cronyism and deceit that has transformed Washington into a graveyard of good intentions.”

The amendment would limit senators to two terms (12 years total) and representatives to three terms (6 years total), the Washington Examiner reported..........



Now watch the establishment kill it.

I don't know anyone who does not favor term limits but yes, it will probably get killed.

It will die a miraculously fast death I bet. Although I think six years should be enough for any government position.

He didn't go far enough. Supreme court justices should have term limits too.

If this amendment goes forward, then the states will need to ratify it. I can envision a bunch of office holders losing their next election if they oppose. I don't know anybody not in favor of term limits. It's a great way to keep the swamp drained.
