Think of the timing of this. Cruz introduces this at the most "seemingly" unlikely time for it to ever be passed. Something around the corner? The current makeup would never pass it. But...

Nowhere near the corruption had been exposed almost 2 years ago than what we have seen now. Not as many awake.
But are we getting there?
if I was the Queen, I would go further than term limits...
I would make the federales go on Medicare and SS just like we serfs....
I would make all congresscritters put all their financial affairs in blind trusts which would end this insider trading that makes mega millionaires out of them all....
of course, PT in pertuity...
I believe 6 years in Senate, 3 years in House, why I feel like that?
The truth is that in 12 years the representative can hide in the half light of middle generations of 12 years.
Our problem is that if they turn into Rino or worse we are stuck with them for either 12 years as Senator or 6 years as House. And we have seen over generations that as soon as they get in they settle into being firebrands that snuffs out when they are basically told play along and you get along for in this case 12 or 6 years.
Think on how much will get done to help We the >People by those who know they will be voted out in a heartbeat if they turncoat on us.
“you have one shot at giving your all as Senator, and one as House, You work for us, do your duty and do as We direct or your out” and then they are back in with us.
It should not be a lifetime appointment, nor a 12 or 6 year binge fest at the trough.
If they are good at their job, and I add IF again, then they can have one additional either 3 years in the Senate as a final additional term that is agreed to by the Party only, or a 2 year term agreed to by the party.
Serving is Not a lifetime position, as a lifetime position fills the Government with compromised, and self serving Uniparty sycophants.
Make the positions worth Pride, and not worthless for the People, if you really are in it for the People you will be proud to serve then step down to be rewarded by us for your service.
IMHO
