I have a better idea. Leave that one alone and add term limits to the Senate and the House.

Better idea. Repeal the 17th Amendment, which would return power to the states making the pResident’s term irrelevant.

This won’t get a 2/3 vote in either house. It’s dead.

Congressional term limits.

2 terms of 2 years each. 1 6 year senate term.

No lifelong benefits or retirement pay. Do your job and go home.

Never mind the name calling and jokes. We heard them all about Obama. The republicans better get busy hanging the disasters of her tour as Sec of State around here neck right now. If she skates on the mess she left in Libya, Egypt, Iran, N Korea, Afghanistan, Russia, etc. ,the media will pull her across the finish line with emotional appeals to those on the dole and the weak minded. Sound familiar?
