Is authored by Ted Cruz. Does this stand a chance?

Regarding Term Limits/lobbying restrictions for Congress

116th CONGRESS
1st Session
S. J. RES. 1

IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

January 3, 2019
Mr. Cruz (for himself, Mr. Rubio, and Mr. Lee) introduced the following joint resolution; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary

JOINT RESOLUTION

Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States relative to limiting the number of terms that a Member of Congress may serve.

Hang the bastard
Hang him high
Raise his body
To the sky
And when his legs
Quit twitching
We’ll know
It’s the end of him
And we all can go home

It’s a shame this Bill doesn’t get the attention it needs.

This would solve 95% of our problems

How is that going to change the fundamental problem of having a retarded electorate?

What we really need are poll tests.

First off, if you didn't graduate high school, automatic no vote (wasted huge taxpayer investment).

Second, if you have no earned income, no vote. (exception: social security income counts as earned)


Problems solved.

Nah I don’t think education level separates us as citizens. Paying taxes might.

It keeps corruption at bay

It forces the 2 major parties to divide their resources across far more battle grounds. This could in turn give rise to a legit 3rd party. Which would then change our current news cycle as well as there would be more than 2 sides to make out as heroes and villains.

This is an interesting discussion and I’ve said for years that I want a third party because it’s just ridiculous how we put everything into those two sets of checklists. That said, what do you say to the very legitimate argument that the above changes would usher in more extremism?
