Read the proposed amendment in #6. It is more than term-limits.
ok so I read post #6. There is a reason why senators serve 6 years. Recall? I don’t think so. Melendez should not keep his seat once found guilty. I see no teeth there-it requires a Senate vote if I’m not wrong. Cereal the other amendment? Just put your 28th amendment in it’s place. WE JUST MIGHT have too many.
I have...
the issue with recall is the State Political machine then becomes the power broker, and every swap of the Capital equals another recalled Congress Critter.
2 years for the House is fine... its the flag in the wind and they are always running... very little time to relax
6 years in the Senate.. prior to the 17th Amendment makes perfect sense... If the State Capital changes, Governor or either Chamber and the sitting Senator wants to continue they have to respond or they go away 1 and done.. They had better be extraordinary at politics to be in more than 1 term... It will in effect slow the speed down of the Senate as well and force them to use there time wisely versus the stupid entrenched crap fueled by the lobbyist money
Added benefit will be the K Street Cartel in Dc will now have to engage every state capital in order to get anything out of the Senate...gets really expensive or just not possible, thus only the real issues will get funded or time allocated to them...
The issue with any terms limits are the bureaucracy that will develop such as today or in historical records, ie the Byzantine Empire
