The ultimate solution to the power problem is term limits.

AMEN! How do we get term limits passed? I think it is critical to our future. What is the process?

Or have the crooks set it up so they have to vote on it themselves? If so, we are doomed. There must be a loophole - what can a citizen do to start this?

I heard Carl Levin, D-MI compalining that the leadership of the government of Iraq should be changed because it has proven to be so ineffective.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!

When the GOP ditched congressional term limits, a key pledge in the Contract With America, it was clear it was no different from the Democrats it replaced. When politicians serve 20 years or more in Congress, they can become insulated from the people they are elected to represent. Two terms for the Senate and six terms for the House ought to be plenty. If a politician can't get it done in 12 years, his time should be up and someone else should take over.

If we would simply restrict our elected officials to 20 years on the Hill, we would not have to deal with the insanity that seems to settle in on our career politicians.

I'm thinking 6 years is plenty long enough to be a "public servant". Let more people take a turn at it. They get in & know they only have so long to make a difference & then they get back out into real life. Our government today is living proof of what you get with "lifers".

At the risk of repeating myself, it was not because Republicans were to conservative that caused the massacre in ‘08. It was because GOP Congressmen and Senators acted much more like Democrats than Republicans. Why they did so is open to debate, while sending them back was not.

One of the ironies that most congressmen have higher approval individually. People like their congressman more than “congress.”

I wish they would set a benchmark to impeach themselves by the end of the month.

Then and only then will Congress be what it was originally intended to be.

For Congress to be what the founders intended, we would have to dismantle 90% of the Federal bureaucracy. I doubt the author has really thought this through.

When was the last time you heard a Congressman ask whether something they were contemplating was a Constitutionally authorized power of Congress?

When was the last time someone stood up and said “this is not authorized under the 17 powers that the sovereign states ALLOWED the federal government to have”?

But with term limits, amnesty would have passed.

The ONLY leverage we had was threatening to vote them out.
Those up for re-election next year cracked first.

Our elected thieves are only interested in one thing, THEMSELVES.
