Trump should demand term limits for congress and all Judges except SCOTUS. He should bring it up every day and refuse to sign anything else until it happens. I think the majority of Americans would agree that lifetime politicians are destroying the country and becoming multi-millionaires on an income that no one else living in Washington would he able to. Then when they become too old or sick to even go to the bathroom by themself much less have a cogent thought they are allowed to continue on the job when in any normal job you would be forced to retire. I want to see the President every day on a microphone say something like “Well another day has passed and still nothing from the career politicians Ryan and McConnell on the publics desire that term limits be imposed to end their power hungry quest to sqeeze every penny they can from hard working Americans while they continue to get rich and build walls around their homes while refusing to build a wall to protect us from invaders who want to either kill us or take away what little these career politicians have decided to let us keep of our own hard earned income.”

“... Trump should demand term limits for congress and all Judges ...”

The president can’t do that.
Congress can’t do that.
It would require an amendment to the Constitution.
(but you already knew that, right?)

When it comes to the Senate and House, I agree.

When it comes to judges, I would like to see another metric.

If it can be shown a judge is ruling outside normal tenets of law or the U.S. Constitution (and unreasonably so) more than 5% of the time, I think they should be removed from the bench.

I would probably modify this myself because it’s a bit convoluted, but as an outline plan, this or something like it needs to be instituted.

We have too many judges going off on “feelings” instead of accepted tenets of law.
