Legislated Term Limits!!

I originally wasn't for it. We would loose some good leaders. But the damage being done by career politicians can no longer be ignored. But this would require a Constitutional Amendment. Another way might be to simply demand the congressional retirement program be limited or greatly reduced if not entirely eliminated. That could be done in congress without an amendment needed. Pressure from taxpayers could force this happen.

BYW I wonder why Teddy K is being allowed to remain in the senate if he is no longer capable of being there and likely never will be again?

Third rule should be when Congress is not in session the members should return to their residence in their home state. Many haven't actually lived in their States likely in decades. Washington, DC should not be their residence. These are again rules congress can make.
