1) term limit/age limit amendment for congress

2) 9 member Supreme Court limit with age limit of 80

3) end of birthright citizenship

Keep it simple. Worst case it’s a good PR move to show he wants action to fix a broken system. He should have a prime time speech asking for it

Neither 2/3 of the House and Senate or 2/3 of the states want to have that convention. He isn't a King (even though the left thinks he is). He can't call a Constitutional Convention.

No President over age 75 and 2-term limits for Senators would be a great start.

75 year olds have no business being President, and yes, I know that includes Trump. I argued heavily for an age limit in 2020 when Trump and Biden were the nominees.

I’m sick of people like Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer making an entire career out of “public service.” Senate needs term limits.

Do you understand what the word "propose" means?

Y’all still ain’t realize Trump could care less… it’s obvious this second term was about enriching himself and his family… also doing as many favors as he can for Israelis, rich Arabs, or any other person with a net worth higher than his

2 terms for senators, 3 for both house reps and POTUS.

There are other things which need to be addressed (like rampant deficit spending), but I really like the idea of keeping it simple in order to try to accomplish what would be the most effective changes.

Now, let's spitball on age/term limits for Congress.

Age limit: 67
Term limit: 10 total years, regardless of chamber.

Something else too that has been mentioned before but not enough when it comes to these discussions is you would also need to mandate that the Congress slimeball's STAFFS be limited as well. A lot of this bullshite we see in our country actually comes from the pencil neck dork staff members and unless you limit them too it will just carry over to the next a-hole they work for.

What I said wasn't untrue. He can't "call" a Constitutional Convention. I misread propose as "call". Ill take the L and move on with my day. But I still think you need a Civics class.

Right? I mean, look at Mitch McConnell. That guy has been a walking vegetable for years now. He isn't doing a frickin' thing. But someone sure as shite is, in his name. So who is it? Some frickin dweeb who has made a career of working for politicians behind the scenes. THEY'RE the ones who are the biggest problem. These politicians are mostly just figureheads for the unelected bureaucracy.

Trump just held a press conference to declare his Oval Office a national monument that can’t be changed.

Trump is spending the next 24 months as DC developer building a ballroom, a golf course and an arch. All of which are beautiful and critical.

Propose =/= calling.

quote:

Neither 2/3 of the House and Senate or 2/3 of the states want to have that convention

Under Article V of the U.S. Constitution, a convention can be called when 34 states (two-thirds of the 50 states) submit applications to Congress. Currently, 28 have passed such legislation (there's no time limit on it).

Also, the resolution is actively listed as under consideration or pending in: Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Massachusetts, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Washington, and Wyoming. If even just half of those were to pass their legislation that would meet the threshold criteria.
