Great idea but the only way he could make it actually happen would be to go from state capital to state capital pushing for a Convention of States. Congress is not going to vote itself out of power.

As of today, 8 states (AL, AK, FL, GA, IN, LA, OK, TN) have applied for a Convention of the States to formulate amendment proposals that would impose term limits on federal officers. Among the other items in the application are procedures for nullification and a balanced budget amendment.

If 26 more states apply for a convention using the same language (thus making 34 states), Congress must set the time and place for the convention.
