frick the amendment. Better odds to pass the bill have the greedy pols challenge it in court and get the Supreme Court to OK term limits. Same thing with birth babies citizship, frick star e whatever. Frick lawyers espically the good looking babes with law degrees

Pelosi is 76 years old and McCain and the rest all need to retire already.

This is truly the 1st credible step in draining the swamp and emptying out the "DC Brothel!"

This is a start though I'm not sure it will have any significant impact if it does ever become law. I would rather see gerrymandering for congressional districts done away with and also SENATORS NEED TO BE SELECTED BY THE STATE LEGISLATORS.

So where was Cruz in 1994? Had no chance then, has no chance now.

It's gonna be fun to see who votes against it. It will show how some people are in it to be career politicians.

Holy shite, that's awesome. Term limits might have been my favorite part of Trump's platform, but it was also the one I thought least likely to occur. Long way to go to actually get this thing passed obviously, but I honestly doubted whether we would even get a bill.

At the minimum, let's at least get this thing to a vote and force every representative to publicaly state their position one way or the other. Hopefully Trump can bully it through. Start contacting your representatives, let's get this done!

“We believe that the rise of political careerism in modern Washington is a drastic departure from what the founders intended of our federal governing bodies. To effectively ‘drain the swamp,’ we believe it is past time to enact term limits for Congress,” Cruz and DeSantis wrote.

It'll die a quick death, but it's good he's trying.

Dammit Ted, you will make it awfully hard for me to stay mad at you if you pull this off.

Google "Proposed 28th. Amendment". Hopefully, this will be addressed as well.
