We at the very least need age limits. We should also require cognitive test to politicians over 60 or 65 to avoid any more Joe Biden situations.

If POTUS is limited to two terms, so should be our Reps. It's that simple.

Well some would argue that we already have term limits because we can just simply vote out any politician we think may be to old every 2-4-years. I would like to see it actually put into law though.

As a prerequisite for taking office. With a frickin IQ standard established.

And I'm not saying they all have to be scholars, but let's say 100. After all, that is the average. You cannot convince me that Hank Johnson has an IQ of 100.

And I would argue that those people are ineligible to hold office for being too stupid. Like Hank Johnson.

We cannot have career retards running our government. Career Retards is what leads to 37 trillion in debt and Jeffery Epstein.

I have always looked at term limits like most of society looks at the id to vote issue. There is no logical reason to object to it.

Not to mention in the senate they get 6 year terms

I'd be good with allowing house reps more than 2 terms since they serve 2 year terms. But we could cap it at 4 to 6 terms giving them a max service of 8-12 years.

And we either need to have an upper age limit or rigorous competency testing (honestly we should have competency testing for people of all ages)

2 terms in the Senate and 6 in the house is acceptable. But that would mean POTUS can serve 3 terms, not 2.

They're either co-equal branches or they're not.

This moron should have been thrown out of office after he made that stupid comment about Guam tipping over.

He would have likely needed an intelligence waiver to join the Army. And their cutoff is the actual "retard" line.

I do not think even AOC or Crockett would say something that stupid. That’s saying something considering all the air in their heads could give Mars a breathable atmosphere.

I don't think that the time served needs to be equal for each group

But I do think that a max of 12 would be a good starting point

I don't like the idea of 3 terms for a president because they have significantly more power than one person in either the house or senate

Both of those women are much more intelligent than he is. And they're still both very stupid.

It's like an exponential curve. AOC is stupid. Johnson is retarded. And the difference in intellect is vast.

But none of them have been elected by the overall majority of the country.
