If we had a public that was interested there would be such a clamor for age and term limits that they would have to be implemented.

Alas, it’s a world I’m from, not a world I’m in.

Problem is that on the Federal level the only way to implement such a change would be via a Constitutional Amendment, which requires 2/3rds of each house to vote for it before it gets sent to the states. Don’t see the leaders of Congress (who would lose their jobs and power) even allowing such a thing out of committee.

I know that amendments can be proposed if 2/3rds of the states call for a Convention to propose amendments, but that option has never been implemented. In many states where term-limits have been implemented I believe it has come via the Initiative process, which doesn’t exist on the Federal level.
