How many has McConnell, Pelosi, Schumer etc been in? Besides, at least Cruz is introducing the bill. 2 and done should be the rule imo. Maybe 3 for House of Reps. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants a 2 term limit and it starts when the bill is introduced. Any no mind that thinks that one side should start following some type of standard before it is introduced is an idiot. But hey lets all laugh about him running for his 3rd, while the rest run for their 10th or more and magically don't want term limits. Maybe you should look closely at the people who vote with cruz when it comes to this rather than trying to get a laugh at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applaud Cancun Cruz putting it out there, and disagree it shouldn't effect current sitting members... but it's going to go nowhere.

Long term politicians get elected for extended years do so because THEIR constituents re elect them not because someone in another states hates them and wants to limit their terms.

Catalina Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 The only way we will get term limits (and I think we should have them) is if anyone currently in office is grandfathered in (can I use that term anymore? Should I say 'grandparented' in?). Any other way means the current politicians will be putting themselves out of a job, it isn't going to happen. It would take a generation to get everyone cleared out, but it's the only way to get it done. As for Cruz, if he doesn't run again, he can't put in a bill to start term limits, if that's what he wants to do, lets keep him for a while longer. We have limits for President, if limits are bad for the Congress and Senate, why are they good for the President? (answer: they aren't) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
