Term limits for Congress! That was part of Newt Gingrich's Contract With America that got enough Republicans elected to control the House for the first time in 40 years. Of course, the Congress refused to vote it in. Where else would people like Gerald Nadler get a job?
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

I would be much more in favor for
" no exemption for congress and lifetime appointed persons of laws and regulations that are imposed on citizens "
If it is good enough for citizens it should be good enough for everyone. +1

8 years total for the house and the senate. No where in America can you fail at your job for this long and still be employed.
Clyde Problem with term limits is that you can have wild swings in power both ways. If term limits were in place in 2008, Obama might have had 65 Senators and a 100 seat advantage in the House with all of the anti Bush sentiment. I understand, and maybe there should be longer than 8 years. I can say this though, the founders never intended for our reps to be lifelong appointments. Clyde I agree, but don’t have the answer

The founders never envisioned 90 year old, brain dead, dump phucqs refusing to step down when they clearly aren't capable of performing their duty to a level deserved of the position and responsibility.

They didn't. What they did envision is the House of Representatives doing their job which they didn't. When Ginsburg became unable to do here job and she refused to step down she should have been removed from that position. The House was controlled by the dems and as usual they didn't perform their jobs. Had the repubs had control of the house I don't have much faith they would have done their jobs either. Ginsburg wanted the skank to replace her position and when that bet didn't pan out she let her TDS take over her common sense. The Constitution works as written, follow it and things work out.

Yep, life expectancy was quite a bit shorter in those days.

Repealing the 17th would be good too!
