The only way we’ll ever get term limit laws will be if we “grandfather in” current office-holders. Yeah, I know that’s distasteful. But it’s the only way.

Not correct. Get behind the Convention of States movement and get your state to approve it, if it has not. Problem solved.

Some folks here are against a Convention of States because it’s so unpredictable. I disagree, and think it’s worth the risk. Our Republic is daily slipping away, and it’s time to roll the dice.

Anyway. a Convention is one way to impose term limits. But that might be a very long wait (if ever). So I’m in favor of a faster solution; pass an Amendment the usual way. Unfortunately, that can only happen if the current office-holders are exempt. Ugh! I know that’s distasteful.
