I’m all for a Constitutional Amendment like this, but one should realize that it’s going to take about seven years to go through the process. Congress has been setting time limits on approving Constitutional Amendments (maximum time), which has been seven years. But it is possible for enough states to ratify it in just one year ... but unlikely. If it’s wildly popular with the voting electorate, I would say about three or four years.

If true, are these time limits constitutional? I don't see where the Constitution puts a time limit on ratifying a constitutional amendment, at least not the Article V convention of states amendment process. I suppose if nothing else, Cruz could submit it through the COC process.
