This will go nowhere in congress and is all for show. Pigs at the trough will never vote to limit themselves. I’ve really soured on Levin over the last year, but he’s on target when he says the only way to term limit congress and the supremes is via Article V.
Don’t need term limits for congress. Do away with congressional retirements, health care perks, as citizens they stay subject to the laws they pass,
Do away with their ability to insider trade. When they can no longer enrich themselves at the taxpayers ( citizens ) expense they will not stay in DC long.
They are asking the Congress to term limit themselves???? Good luck with that !
Let’s #recoverthe10th.
Really, leave this trash to the States to pick up.
when Pigs fly!
If Cruz was the man of integrity he pretends to be he should propose an amendment clarifying what natural born citizen means, born here of citizen parents, so we don’t suffer another usurpation like the disastrous Kenyanesian Usurpation.
He won’t because he isn’t one.
His ambition supersedes his devotion to the Constitution.
I don’t agree with this. I like my Congressperson. Don’t throw out those with a good track record.
Even if it does not pass, I hope there is a recorded vote. That way we can use it against the No’s next election...
Its going to go nowhere.
That said, term limits for Congress were part of the original Republican Contract With America in 1994.
Career politicians are the worst thing ever inflicted upon our country.
I did not vote for Mike Lee R of Utah nor did I vote for Mia Love R for Utah...and I'm a Republican...I voted for the I because I hate the D's beyond words...and that includes the RINO’s like RINO RYAN, McLame, Linda Graham, Mitch the turtle...why don't people try voting for others rather than keep sending the same people back???
While you’re at it...Introduce a bill to make English the Official language.
Eliminate Democrat election fraud and there would be no need for term limits.
Another example of Cruz grandstanding by getting in front of a train that he knows has perfect-working brakes.
More grandstanding by the Senates very own Mr Congeniality: Ted Cruz
All hat, no cattle
but bravely leading the U.S. congress to vote themselves out of lucrative careerism - once he builds a consensus - for the first time in his political life of course
Green eggs and ham, anyone?
I prefer 5 or 6 terms for the House so they won’t feel slighted in comparison to the Senate.
Also since we will always have “career politicians”, people who are so certain that only they can can make “hoi polloi” lives better. (That previous sentence is dripping with sarcasm if you didn’t notice!)
I say let the career politician who wants to make the Senate or House his “home away from home”. You can return but you have to sit out one full Senate term (6 years) & 3 House terms(6 years). Meanwhile “Mr. Career Politician” go home (Leave the DC area!) and run for mayor, county commissioner, governor, etc. Maybe even get a job in the private sector. Go find out what’s like to live under your past “political wisdom”. Who knows “Mr. Career Politician” you might learn something
The career politician is the root of much of the evil to which our system has devolved.
What is needed are disincentives for people to spend their entire lives in Congress. Fer instance:
A) Congress does not get to vote on its own pay raises. The people vote on it.
B) Congress cannot exempt itself from laws it passes.
C) No federally funded pensions for Congresscritters. They must provide for their own retirements.
Both Cruz and DeSantis also point to the “broad support”

Whom dem ‘broads’?
About as likely as getting rid of the IRS and the income tax.
They will NEVER relinquish that power without a civil war. Ever.
