re: Term Limits Discussion

To be completely blunt we really don’t need reps these days and Congress should be phased out. If people truly want a smaller government we should start there. We have direct communication with our representatives and they don’t listen. Taxation with poor representation is what we have.

I think this could work if terms for the House were bumped up to 4 year terms and the total terms served would be limited to 3 terms to match the Senate's total of two terms for a total of 12 years.

I'm actually cool with 2yrs house 6yrs senate- especially if we go back to the senators being chosen by legislators rather than popular vote.

I assume you also do not want prior House members and Senate members to run for the other chamber?

I'm cool with switch hitting too... under the current scheme, it'd still be limited enough for me.

Ideal situation is repeal direct election of senators and every house, senate, executive limited to two terms.

I'd love the bonus item of NO dual citizens in any position of the three branches. You can't serve the US with split allegiance.

Google says it isn't even tracked how many congress critters and senators have dual citizenship.

If you mandate two terms only for instance then you keep the best ones like Massie from staying around protecting our future

Talk about a terrible example. Massie, like Cruz before him, has become the very swamp they vowed to oppose. I'm sure Massie, like Cruz, also voted for term limits. If you propose term limits, then why are you seeking a 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th term? I remember Dan Crenshaw, at 1 point in time, was a decent representative. Then, he spent too long in DC and became the same swamp he claims to hate.

Politicians, ALL POLITICIANS, should be treated the way actors were treated long ago. Seen as low-life whores, and scum.

12 or 18 years for Congress. Either 4/6 House terms, or 2/3 Senate terms, or some combination. But you would not be eligible to run again if you will have served in Congress for 12/18 years at the start of the next term.
