Term limits

Term limits

So why does the potus have limits...nobody should make a career out of being public servants & why we have the swamp. The right is just a little less icky than the left.

We would not be dealing with this bogus impeachment if we had limits...they are drunk on power. Not sure how anyone cannot see the damage lack of limits has caused in the house & senate especially on the left with all the defendants. Keep voting for me & i'll give you crap from everywhere else (see California) Jeeze...

Term limits certainly wouldn’t hurt, but yes we would still be having the impeachment trial. All of this insanity in Washington is being pushed by the 3 letter bureaucracy. The puppetitions are just there to distract us.

The founding fathers probably didn't put anything into the Constitution because I don't believe they ever figured there would be politicians making that there way of life. They were citizens that believed that you serve a short term and then go back to your real life and let someone else serve.

Term Limits and the Constitution
The Founding Fathers - the people who wrote the Constitution - did, in fact, consider and reject the idea of congressional term limits. In Federalist Papers No. 53, James Madison, father of the Constitution, explained why the Constitutional Convention of 1787 rejected term limits.

"[A] few of the members of Congress will possess superior talents; will by frequent re-elections, become members of long standing; will be thoroughly masters of the public business, and perhaps not unwilling to avail themselves of those advantages. The greater the proportion of new members of Congress, and the less the information of the bulk of the members, the more apt they be to fall into the snares that may be laid before them," wrote Madison.

So, the only way to impose term limits on Congress is to amend the Constitution, which is exactly what two current members of Congress are trying to do, according to About U.S. Politics expert Tom Murse.
