President Trump will use Article 5 (Term Limits) as leverage

I can't believe I didn't realize this sooner. He will use it to get Dems and Reps to pass through his agenda. That brilliant bastard

I approve

You mean he will threaten to organize state legislatures to pass term limits without congress unless the House and Senate (with the states) do it themselves?

How would that work in terms of procedure?

No, I mean he will threaten it as a sanction for not going along with his agenda

I think he means Trump would threaten to organize a constitutional convention to pass a new term limits amendment and circumvent DC.

The people who insist that DJT is a "clown" are in for a big surprise. The man is successful because he really is a genius at getting things done.
This time next year, we will already be seeing progress.

My idea on term limits is that every cycle an incumbent must win by a greater majority. After 6 terms you should have to garner 75% to win re-election.

Ah. Well that would be interesting but would seem unfathomable with a one party government.

I hope he really means passing the term limit amendment and he just doesn't use if for leverage. I like the idea of congressional term limits.

Exactly. The only reason this has never happened is because we've never had an outsider with strict allegiance and strong relationships with congressional members.
It's truly brilliant

You can't truly negotiate without being willing to walk away from the table. Term Limits is Trump walking away from the table

Exactly. OP sounds a lot like we'll never get term limits.

Has anyone else thought that this is his play?

Nope. Facebook liberals told me that he lost 900 million in one year based on a single page from a state tax return. So he's a failure. Plus bankruptcy.

Brilliant Founding Fathers!

You have to have $900 million to lose $900 million

I like it. I can see it working.
