Beard still looking good!

I’m shocked CNN reported it, and fully expect it to go absolutely nowhere. “Please sign here to quit your job.”
They don’t represent us. They represent themselves. They have made this crystal clear.

PS Some Democrats are backing the idea — including Robert Francis (aka “Beto” O’Rourke.)

Worthless waste of time. Cruz knows this has absolutely no chance of going anywhere,

I like news stories like this. More please.

They could write it so that current members are not included. That would certainly give it a higher chance of passage.

This is a good idea, but too ambitious. They need to start with something more palatable to the current members, like limiting the number of terms for members in congress to say 50 terms. Of course, this would mean Pelosi would still be term limited out.

It may not go anywhere but we’ll find out who the deep staters are. Trump can call them on it and do a Bill Clinton “Your time is up”

For some, zero years is the right limit to impose.

Thank you, Ted.
It most likely won’t pass, but it needed to be put before Congress and the people anyway.

A bit of scruff is a really good look for Ted.

NO NO NO
Any Californian can tell you what happened after we imposed term limits on the legislature. The swamp, the lobbyists, the staffers all those who survived across term limits became the power base.
We cannot allow this to happen to congress.

Worthless waste of time. Cruz knows this has absolutely no chance of going anywhere, No, it won't pass, but it's far from a waste of time.
If we don't keep banging on this door, it will never break.
Repetition and persistence will win the day.

They could write it so that current members are not included. That would certainly give it a higher chance of passage. That's a damn good idea. Word it so that the new term limits only apply to those who are newly elected after the bill is signed into law.
That way it's not a total shock to business as usual, but over time, all congress members will be term limited.
