Sounds good to me. Chance of passing? Zero.

One term for Senators, two terms for Representatives.

Sounds good to me if we can put a limit on staffers too.

We have what may be a chance to control all three houses for the next generation. This is NOT a priority, in my opinion.

He needs to add no retirements plans to that too.
No one should get a retirement plan for serving a couple of terms.

And chop POTUS down to a single four year term.
No more Imperial Presidencies.

No need or point to amending the Constitution as you can pretend it says whatever you want.
New words will have the same weight as the old ones. None.

I believe that I read the Term Limits won’t effect current members of Congress and Senate. Only future people will be affected.
To: SeekAndFind
This is the only guaranteed effective way to “drain the swamp.” Everything else is pretty much lip service.

Repeal the 17th and leave it to the states. No need for term limits.

Nor should we have to support former Speaker’s of the House for life either. Strip those perks away as well.

It may be easier to get it passed if that’s the case. But getting it passed in the required number of states will take so long, that it may never happen in my lifetime. I’m 68.
