Term limits for Congress never get enacted because they run against the self-interests of Congressmen. Here’s the solution: propose legislation requiring it & just “grandfather” exemptions for those who enact it. It’d pass instantly.

Vivek is right. The people currently in Congress will never vote to limit their own terms. But they’ll gladly do it for people after them. Same approach should be used for reducing congressional salaries. Members of Congress are paid way too much given how incompetent they are.

“Congress has become the most privileged nursing home in the country.”

Vivek Ganapathy Ramaswamy (Parody)2 years ago

It's infuriating! How on earth does Congress manage to maintain a measly 10% approval rating while a whopping 96% of these incumbent lawmakers get re-elected?! The numbers just don't add up! It's a clear indication of a broken system that's completely out of touch with the people it's supposed to represent. Term limits are an absolute necessity to shake up this stagnant mess and bring some accountability back into the picture!

Take out Lobbying. Take out Stock market trading and revoke every cent from the public figure that made anything off their classified knowledge. Make it a federal crime to attempt to profit while holding your office (and after with the classified knowledge you know). Make the job so unappealing to anyone who wants to do something nefarious with it. Do the will of the people, not the will of what you think we want.

An interesting proposal to overcome the hurdle of self-interest in enacting term limits for Congress.

A creative approach to addressing the challenge of implementing term limits for Congress, potentially offering a pathway to bipartisan support.

We have term limits every 2 and 6 years. They are called elections.

🚨Governor DeSantis is leading the charge to add a TERM LIMITS Amendment to the U.S. Constitution for Congress! “People want Term Limits but they say Congress will never do it. Well, you DO NOT NEED Congress to do it if the STATES do it, and we have that mechanism!”

DESANTIS: I'm for Term Limits for members of Congress, too. I think the incentives, part of the reason we have the debt is because they always want to get reelected.

We need term limits for members of Congress. Florida has already certified a proposed amendment under Article V of the Constitution and other states are poised to follow suit. At the invitation of the U.S. Term Limits organization, I traveled today to encourage other state legislators to follow Florida's lead and pass a resolution to call for a constitutional amendment for congressional term limits. We will never turn our country around if we don't change the incentives in DC. Term limits are supported by huge majorities of Americans -- it's time to make it happen!

Is it time for Congress to pass a law banning Foreign-Born immigrants to run for political office? Because a foreign-born Muslim just won the NY Mayoral democratic race.

🚨 GOV. RON DESANTIS ON TERM LIMITS: "People say, 'oh, well, bureaucrats are going to get more powerful!' Excuse me - the modern Congress, as careerism has increased, the Congress has NEUTERED itself and given MORE power to the bureaucracy." We need term limits. "It has grown dramatically over the last 50 years. They don't use the power of the purse, which is their most powerful weapon, the way the founders intended." "I think if you had term limits, I think people would go on a mission. They know that they're going to be there for six years in the House. And maybe they run for Senate. You're going to want to have something to show for it. You're going to go up there and actually want to get the job done."

It takes two thirds majorities in both houses of Congress plus 3/4ths of the states to change the Constitution. Those members of congress or legislators who vote for it also must stand for re-election. Yet we are told a district judge could amend it over night with the flick of a wrist and never stand for reelection?! They don't face reelection precisely because they have LESS not MORE power than the other branches.

Kiros: At the end of the day, the reason why we are not seeing legislation like Medicare for All, universal child care, and an arms embargo on Israel passed—despite a supermajority of support from the voters of this party—is because when corporations and special interests donate to campaigns, it’s not that they’re going to get an immediate return with legislation that is favored for them. Sometimes the return they get is stalling legislation that would actually make a meaningful difference for families. And so, at the end of the day, the only way we can trust that members of Congress are actually fighting for that kind of legislation is for them not to be taking money from the very corporations and special interests that do not want to see that kind of legislation pass.

🚨 Trump just roasted the Democrats with nuclear-level sarcasm: “I’ll propose the opposite of what I want… and they’ll finally approve the good stuff.” Every single Democrat in Congress voted against historic funding. Not one. They’re so blinded by Trump Derangement Syndrome they can’t see straight. Good news, bad news, common sense — doesn’t matter. If Trump’s for it, they’re against it. So Trump dropped the ultimate troll move: “I’m gonna propose we don’t build the wall. I’ll go for everything bad… and watch them line up to pass what’s actually good for America.” 🤣 Reverse psychology on steroids. Because at this point, that’s what it takes with these clowns.

Spoil the Vote has changed political discourse. Ivan & Matt talk about asylum for 15 mins… they’ve never done that before. Ivan finally calls out the planning exemptions for IPAS. These exemptions are extraordinary, we have been saying it for ~3 years. They must end now.

The House Judiciary Committee is taking a vote on term limits today - because conservatives forced Kevin McCarthy to do it against his will. Term limits are wildly popular in every zip code in America except 202 in Washington, D.C. It will be revealing to see which Members of Congress vote in favor of open, transparent government and which vote in favor of empowering the Swamp.
