There is a better solution. A Convention of States. Term limits. Following the Constitution. NOT the one we have now. The pocket Constitution-the one the Founders signed. The Founders recognized that there would be a need to amend the new Constitution, and wisely chose not to leave the matter solely to Congress. They added a second clause to Article V of the United States Constitution providing that:
. . . on application by two-thirds of the state legislatures, Congress must call a convention of the states for the proposal of amendments, valid when ratified by the legislatures or by conventions in three-quarters of the states, as Congress chooses.

Term limits is not enough, it is an attempt to obstruct previous corruptions of the Constitution. I agree we need an Article V Convention. But, the amendments to make are: 1) Repeal the 16th Amendment, 2) Repeal the 17th Amendment and revoke the House rule limiting membership to 435 as unconstitutional. Those 3 things will restore the macro checks and balances between the People, the States and the Federal Government. Anything less will mean a continuation of this wasteful struggle between the People and the Federal Government. It will not relinquish its power willingly.
