America is tired of professional politicians who’ve been in office for decades.

Term limits are a bad idea. It will limit people’s representation even more.

Government will not be term-limited, the executive branch won’t be limited, government bureaucracies and the lifers and ideologues within them will not be limited.

Congress already has less power than before. Term limits will just make them even more impotent relative to massive nanny state.

In addition, take away their pay and return Congress to being part time. Let earn their money at their real jobs at home.

Not really. All it does is make the unelected bureaucracy more powerful.

Another of the “best” ideas Trump has had...I hope he can pull it off...

Knowing how these “professional politicians” love their gravy train though, this is a dangerous idea to Trump’s health....

This would require a constitutional amendment. Article V makes Congress a participant in the formulation of amendments. The president is not a participant in this process.

A better idea, better than term limits for Congress, is to dismantle the federal bureaucracy.

Listen: with “term limits” for Congress, the apparatchiks in the bureaucracy, people who are lifelong “civil servants” will become the masters.

Imagine: an EPA full of mid-level managers, or an FCC or FDA or ATF agents who fear no elected official...because they know all they have to do is “out last” them.

Seriously—Congress needs to destroy the power of the bureaucrats. Our Constitution in Article I Section 1 says the legislative powers of the federal government are vested in CONGRESS. Today (and since the New Deal) the bureaucrats have been writing regulations, rules, and regimens for every single aspect of American life. These have the EFFECT of LAW.

Time for THAT to end before we do term limits.

I worry that term limits will hand the power over to the bureaucrats. Committee Staffers will have way to much power.

Unless they eliminate the 30,000 permanent staffers who shuffle from congress rat to congress rat, nothing changes. The elected people are too busy raising money to write legislation. Make no mistake, our enemies are congressional staffers and agency staffers. Term limits will strengthen the power of staff as inexperienced newly elected representatives will need to be shown the ropes - by staff.

- Four 3-year terms: Congressman
- Two six-year terms: Senators
- One nine-year term: President
- One twelve-year term: SCOTUS

I've gone back and forth on the issue, but on balance, I'm in favor of Congressional term limits.

If a President can be term-limited, then I say go ahead and impose the same restriction on Congress...

Vote Trump!

This is nonsense, if that is really what he said.

Just more of what obama is doing.

A president cannot legislate, and to see what term limits do just look at the California legislature.

Insanity to put it lightly.

I hope Trump settles down and stabilizes. These hip-shots are not getting it at all.

Even if he can’t root them out in one fell swoop with term limits, he can still campaign against them individually.
