Doesn’t Congress have to approve this? If so how is it going to pass? What congressman - oh excuse me, how unpolitically correct of me - I meant what Congressperson is going to vote to end their term?

House - (3) four year terms
Senate - (2) six year terms

It’s going to take a constitutional amendment, but everything has to start somewhere.

Yes, by a super-majority. It won't pass. Which is why Ryan can safely back it without worrying about losing his seat.

Trump could make a personal appeal to American to vote their Congress critter out of office if they do not agree to set term limits.

They will vote for it if they can include an extremely generous grandfather clause.
