(Unfortunately, I have two idyot senators: Clinton and Schumer.)

Two of the better examples for an amendement for term limits in Congress.

However, if one state does term limits, they ALL should. I’ve had long discussions about this. The determining factor on who heads up committees is length of time in office. Committee heads have a lot of power. They can bury good bills, never bring them up for discussion. Also, length of time in office brings you to membership of more important committees. Therefore, if many states do not have term limits, and only some do, only these states which do will be penalized.

There’s no way to make this a blanket decision to all states as to limiting terms, unless, I think, an amendment’s passed. And that’s just not going to happen, of course.
