I say yes, simply observe what is currently transpiring.

 

It's another age-old debate involving the world of politics: should there be term limits on members of Congress? I would guess a healthy share of the electorate would support this measure. In contrast, others would argue that the “term-limit” already exists in the form of elections—we, the people, can retire an elected leader. Still, it’s not law, but if you’re a proponent of such actions, you had a banner week.

First, Joe Biden has been a serial reminder of what happens when a major party keeps someone in power who is mentally cooked. You get caught by a sidewind and blown away at the ballot box.

Then, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) tripped and fell, spraining his wrist and cutting his eye. His office said he was fine after minor injuries, though he looked rough. Now, in Europe, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) tripped and fell down some stairs in Luxembourg at the Grand Ducal Palace, where she reportedly suffered a broken hip.

 

And we all remember how Diane Feinstein was treated towards the end of her career.
Course, she'd screwed up and let the cat out of the bag about Dr. Ford's real involvement with the despicables before she claimed Kavanaugh ........... touched her.

But yes, the wicked witch of the west tripped and fell, broke her hip, and got a new one during her trip to Germany.
We sent flowers.

 

Term limits are necessary to truly preserve any real level of Democracy. Term limits for members of Congress should have been written in as part of the US Constitution.

But that's hindsight now. It would take a Constitutional amendment to remedy this mistake. Congress is the only one that can amend the US Constitution and it must be ratified by all US states.

Both sides see this as away to limit their collective power and won't even bring the matter up for discussion

Unfortunately, as a result, I never see this happening.......EVER!

 

Shooter prefers to elect according to changes in net worth over a politicians life.
Many good people run for public office and do good work, but all are eventually mesmerized by the power and money.
Some in one term, some in 10 terms.
Let their greed dictate when they get kicked from office.

 

Absolutely agree with term limits for both houses of Congress. These fucks have been feeding at the public trough for much too long. Their greed is the cause of many problems we face today.

 

Well, term limit advocates, here ya go!
Consider it a delayed Christmas present​

(The Center Square) – Republicans in Congress led by US Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, introduced a joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment to impose term limits for members of Congress.

The amendment would limit U.S. senators to two six-year terms and U.S. House members to three two-year terms. The two-page resolution states that after the amendment is passed by Congress and ratified by the states, the amendment would go into effect “within seven years after the date of its submission by the Congress.”

The resolution proposes that after a member of the U.S. House has served three terms, they aren’t eligible to be reelected to the House. After a U.S. senator has served two terms, they are no longer eligible to be elected or appointed to the U.S. Senate.

“Term limits are critical to fixing what’s wrong with Washington, D.C.,” Cruz, who was just reelected to this third term in the Senate, said. “The Founding Fathers envisioned a government of citizen legislators who would serve for a few years and return home, not a government run by a small group of special interests and lifelong, permanently entrenched politicians who prey upon the brokenness of Washington to govern in a manner that is totally unaccountable to the American people. Term limits bring about long-overdue accountability. I urge my colleagues to advance this amendment to the states so that it may be quickly ratified and become a constitutional amendment.”

Cosponsoring the joint resolution with Cruz are Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, Rick Scott of Florida, Rand Paul of Kentucky, Todd Young of Indiana, Steve Daines of Montana, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Bill Hagerty of Tennessee, Eric Schmitt of Missouri, Roger Marshall of Kansas, Katie Britt of Alabama and Jim Banks of Indiana.

US Rep. Ralph Norman, R-SC, introduced the companion resolution in the US House. “Elected office should represent a short-term privilege of public service, not a career choice,” Norman said. “Those of us in Congress ought to serve for a reasonable period of time and then return home to live under the laws we enacted.”

Sen. Cruz previously introduced resolutions to propose a Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits in 2017, 2019, 2021, and 2023.

Cruz has also proposed ending so-called birthright citizenship by amending the Constitution, The Center Square reported.

Amending the US Constitution is no simple endeavor.

It requires a two-thirds majority vote in both the U.S. House and U.S. Senate. The president has no constitutional role in the process. The amendment must be ratified by three-fourths of the states, 38 out of 50.

The Constitution may also be amended through a constitutional convention called by two-thirds of the state legislatures. This has never happened. All 27 amendments to the Constitution were passed by Congress and ratified by the states. The last amendment to the Constitution was made in 1992.

 

I would say Yes to term limits for the same reason there already established for the president. To avoid a dictatorship. And to truly be a free country.
