David, are you calling for a constitutional amendment to redefine congressional terms? There is no such thing as a four-year term for either house, so to create a one four year term as a term limit would require a constitutional amendment to change the length of a congressional term. I think term limits are good and needed, but it would obviously need to be a little bit more nuanced than the incorrectly stated first plank in your platform.
I understand fully that Senate terms are for six years. As I said, this is simply a list of planks that go to actually changing the power of our government. One four-year term, or one six-year term, instead of one six-year term, with re-election possibilities, is a fundamental change in the power of Congress.
I believe to change the terms of the legislative branch of Congress will take a constitutional convention. I may be wrong in this regard — at least, I hope I am wrong.
