Beard still looking good!
I’m shocked CNN reported it, and fully expect it to go absolutely nowhere. “Please sign here to quit your job.”
They don’t represent us. They represent themselves. They have made this crystal clear.
PS Some Democrats are backing the idea — including Robert Francis (aka “Beto” O’Rourke.)
Worthless waste of time. Cruz knows this has absolutely no chance of going anywhere,
I like news stories like this. More please.
Aren’t you guys getting the joke??? Really???
This is a good idea, but too ambitious. They need to start with something more palatable to the current members, like limiting the number of terms for members in congress to say 50 terms. Of course, this would mean Pelosi would still be term limited out.
Term Limits AND Recall in place for each and every level of politician AND judge is, badly, needed, asap!
Thank you, Ted.
It most likely won’t pass, but it needed to be put before Congress and the people anyway.
Any Californian can tell you what happened after we imposed term limits on the legislature. The swamp, the lobbyists, the staffers all those who survived across term limits became the power base.
We cannot allow this to happen to congress.
Why are they wasting time with this instead of more important and more practical issues such as full fudinng of Trump’s wall, national reciprocity, implementing e-Verify, and so much more?
Having term limits for all senators, representatives, and the President is a bad idea unless all federal employees are subject to some sort of employment limitation also. Otherwise we will soon be ruled by un-elected, un-accountable, and uncaring a$$wholes who know that they have virtually unlimited power and cannot be fired.
Of course many think that Congress’ abdication of lawmaking responsibility to the deep state has already created an indestructible monster.
A snowball has a better chance of surviving hell than this amendment has of going anywhere except the trash can.
The elitists running the swamp are in charge. They will never let this happen.
I thought that a similar law was struck down by SCOTUS some time ago.
GOP Sen. Cruz, Rep. Rooney introduce constitutional amendment to impose term limits on Congress.
Merely an attempt at attention getting. Pure BS that won’t go anywhere.
Lookatme, lookatme, lookatme . Assholes
Strange how Republicans wouldn’t push for legislation like that when they had a majority and some chance of it passing. Makes a person think it’s all for show.
Cruz may not run again in 2024, and Beto could still be waiting to topple him.
I think it should be required that Representatives serve no more than 4 CONSECUTIVE terms (8 years) and Senators serve no more than 2 CONSECUTIVE terms (12 years). If they want to take another bite at the apple after sitting out a term, so be it. It at least gives fresh blood a chance.
But as they say, politicians are like diapers. They need to be changed often -— and for the same reason.
Good start. It should also include a minimum age requirement of 35 years for all elected officials in the country. And pay and housing allowance sufficient to make public service not be too onerous for a dentist or doctor (or any other professional besides lawyer) to undertake.Then we could have a citizen government!
Sounds good, but I think this is a bad idea.
If Congress members don’t have a constant threat of reelection, they will constantly go rogue. Think about all members being “lame ducks” every few years, they won’t care how they vote. No accountability.
Bad idea. Very bad idea.
