term limits is a joke and going nowhere...let’s think about the senate and joe and his pen.

Absolutely agree. However, that was the first I saw that he is proposing three terms in the house (6 years). I'd actually be ok with it going to six terms in the house (12 years) which would be equivalent to two terms in the Senate.

Admittedly, since it is going nowhere, I haven't given it all that much thought.

Don’t give up on term limits. See my post #35.

Yeah. 6 years total is the opposite extreme and is too short.

The problem with term limits at the Fed level is that it should be matched with some sort of term limits for a large part of the FedGov employees also. While POTUS and his cabinet folk roll over every few years, many FedGov middle managers are in lifelong jobs and cannot be dislodged under existing Civil Service rules. These folks have set up their fiefdoms and can resist any pressure from an elected rep/sen because they know the pressure will be gone after the next election cycle.

Every non-elected FedGov employee down to about halfway down the E-?? pay scale should be term limited in their job also. This will eliminate the resistance (slow-walking requests, etc) done by upper to middle management may have to the party in power.
