Do want. Never going to happen. Just covering for the grotesque CR that trump will sign more than likely because of midterms. The thing we have to all realize is that neither party will touch a balanced budget as it is political suicide. Neither side wants a super majority as they would be held accountable for what they pass into legislation. The machine can make this happen because of blue states. Nothing will change without an uprising from the public of epic proportions. In other words, status quo. It hurts me to the core.

This is going to go nowhere.

He said term limits, not age limits.
If I were King, I'd set Representatives at 5 terms (10 years) and Senators at 2 terms (12 years).

Correct, going nowhere. It’s good to get it out there for a possibility in the future, but right now there should be maximum pressure by republicans from both chambers and every other direction on Thune to get the fricking SAVE act passed. That should be the only focus for republicans in congress right now.
Majority are feckless pussies only there to enrich themselves and look pretty for their friends.

I love it when the very officials of whom various actions have been demanded (and thoroughly trashed unless and until they do initiate the process to do so), only to be met with more doubt, cynicism, and yes even more trashing. It’s kinda hard to blame them for not acknowledging some folks amongst us with their loud, nonstop griping, and yes once again, our old friend “trashing” as well.

Great idea and probably is exactly what we should do, but zero chance this passes as a CA.

A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT requires TWO THIRDS of both the House and the SENATE to APPROVE it. And then 3/4 of the STATES.
This is EMPTY POLITICAL THEATER from a DO-NOTHING Republican Congress.
This is the correct answer. The only way any amendment could possibly happen with such a divided gov't is an Article 5 convention. I would love to see that occur.

Nope. Nine was set in 1869 by the Judiciary Act, not an article or amendment. The US Constitution is extremely vague about the judicial branch.

little too late Republicans are about to lose the House.

If the midterms are lost, this is far too little far too late. Without the SAVE act none of this matters.

Agreed on the Supreme Court
No to term limits.
Think it through.

Cap it at the SS age. In Louisiana, I think our maximum age to run for judge is 70 at the time of qualifying.

They really do think we are stupid. This is a play for mid terms with a snowball chance in Hell of even getting out of the House.

This is a good start. Next do term limits.
Or defining a "natural born citizen" as "a child born of at least one person who is a legal citizen of the United States at the time of the child's birth."

Distraction. Its like watching them do nothing and protest voter id because their buds the democrats would cease to exist...
So look squirrel look-look at this shiney object:we know we allowed Speaker Hakeem, so we will PRETEND again we will NOT stop them but pretend we will stop their tactics...
As they all vote in their next COLA raise and slush their funds, we pay their car leases, per diem rent money... and laugh at us.

It's election season. It would require 38 out of 50 states to ratify the change...what are the chances of it passing?
Negative infinity would be too high of an estimate.
