"...and they failed on term limits...if that had passed, we wouldn't be in the situation we are in now!"

It passed long ago, but was subsequently declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. Unfortunately, this was one thing that they got right.

Term limits is a great idea, but a Constitutional amendment isn't in the cards.

I don't understand something. Term limits are constitutional for Governors and the President, but not for state legislatures and Congress?
