Good start. It should also include a minimum age requirement of 35 years for all elected officials in the country. And pay and housing allowance sufficient to make public service not be too onerous for a dentist or doctor (or any other professional besides lawyer) to undertake.Then we could have a citizen government!
Sounds good, but I think this is a bad idea.
If Congress members don’t have a constant threat of reelection, they will constantly go rogue. Think about all members being “lame ducks” every few years, they won’t care how they vote. No accountability.
Bad idea. Very bad idea.
“Beard still looking good!”
Going full Wolverine. No one goes full Wolverine.
“Term Limits AND Recall in place for each and every level of politician AND judge is, badly, needed, asap!”
I would go with mandatory retirement at the age you can “start” to collect social security.
or the longer you stay the less money you get until you end up paying the Government ,LOL
Great idea. Too bad it won’t pass.
That, and that the limits are for consecutive terms and not lifetime bans - that would still create a lot of needed turnover.
Grandstanding.
Why didn’t he intro it while the Pubbies still held the House, Senate and WH?
It will go nowhere and he knows it.
The Turtle claims we don’t need term limits. He claims that’s what the ballot box is for. Guess he thinks he fooling someone with that lie.
It would be interesting to see a study of politicians time in a single office over time. Bet this wasn’t a problem 100 years ago.
My new Senator said he will introduce a term limit bill...so I guess he will support it...
Lot’s of luck. It makes sense, so therefore hasn’t got a chance of passing.
As long as he wears a suit and tie.
Put a cigar in his mouth and some military fatigues, and he’ll look like the dude who drove his father out the country!
MAGA
The term limits on its own will never pass.
I suggest this.
Require a two consecutive term limit for senator and three consecutive for house and then require senators to return to the real world for at least one 6 year period after which they can run again if they wish. Accordingly require house members return to civilian life for 4 years after which the they can run again. This will turn over both houses and let members reacquaint themselves with the real world.....Or some variation of the above.
