Lol like senators will vote positively to limit their own terms...

I think it would be a good thing though. The 98% incumbent re-election rate is just stupid. So little actually changes every election cycle. It's no wonder we have things like the "deep state" when everything is so stagnant

What term is Ted serving?

Won his second term in 2018.

A terrible idea.. Completely asinine. We already have term limits, they're called elections.. If this were to be enacted, candidates will simply be forced to vote whatever they party says.. at that point, drop whatever drone in there you want, they'll all talk and vote the same..

You see this now in both parties, but it's pretty blatant in the DNC.. The GOP tends to still criticize each other, anyone going against the grain in the DNC is marginalized and silenced. I mean, the gov of Va wears black face and essentially states he'd hung negroes in the past, and promotes infanticide. Justin Fairfax of Va rapes white girls for fun.. Complete silence on both of these issues, and anyone saying anything suddenly gets freaky quiet..

If he wants to make a difference, real work needs to done here: 1- reign in the judiciary.. justices shouldn't be allowed to rewrite laws, nor should state or federal courts be allowed to place an injunction on The executive branch. If anything Congress should be doing that 2- decrease the administrative state.
