GOP Presidential candidate Donald Trump announced on Tuesday his intention to push for a constitutional amendment setting term limits for members of both chambers of Congress.
Speaking to a crowd at a campaign rally in Colorado Springs, Trump spoke about his desire to “break the cycle of corruption” in Washington, D.C. if he elected president. The GOP nominee told the crowd it was time to “drain the swamp” of special interests. He recited portions of his newly unveiled ethics reform proposals and then told the crowd another major announcement which is part of his plan.
“If I am elected president, I will push for a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress,” Trump said, as the room erupted in cheers.

This is why Trump is the only real conservative seen anywhere near Washington in decades, maybe centuries.

I would call it a good first start.
It is not nearly enough to stop the corruption currently in power places.
Good first start.
There needs to be a lot more done after this.

Term Limits and an END to the Federal Reserve would finally put the U.S. on the path to its Republic roots! We could only imagine!
To: Secret Agent Man
He can OFFER to serve only 1 term if 100% of the congress turns over in 4 years.

Now it comes to the crux of why Ryan and Mclame oppose him.
The gravy train is ending you treasonous scum

"Congress doesn’t vote against themselves" You're right. Congress would never pass a bill that would break their "Rice Bowl."
