We need term limits to rid ourselves of scum like Lesley Graham, McConnell, Ryan , McCain, Collins and that old ugly woman from Alaska. It would rid ourselves of those disgusting leftists like Schumer, Pelosi, etc. Apparently the voters in their states are too stupid to get rid of them. D.C. is corrupt to the core. Time to clean it up or burn it down. We need a revolution.

The people that voted them in (repeatedly) weren't forced to do so

Yep!

I've been saying this for years. We need to hold a Constitutional Convention and force some new amendments down their throat.

A balanced budget amendment is needed as well.

Ban corporations from being given first amendment rights.

Term limits for Congress and the Senate as well as Federal Judges, including Supremes.

Make entitlements Pay Go.

Congressional Term limits was #1 on Trumps 100day plan

He is as much to blame for not constantly pushing it. It's one of the major reasons I voted for him. Cruz already put together a bill. Trump needs to sell the American people on it

Why do we expect the same population that is responsible for the fame of the Kardashians, "Cash Me Outsside Girl" and Beiber to be able to elect brilliant leadership?

It's time for term limits

The anti term limit argument has always been..."but you lose experience and really good legislators."

Well I don't see that as a road block any more.
Will it save the republic?
I don't know but we as the people should demand we give it a try

Should be limited to three terms for Senate (18 years) and six terms for the house (12 years).

No, what we need is a straight repeal of the 17th Amendment to balance Congress once again.

The Founding Fathers never intended there to be a permanent political class ruled by the wealthy.
