Just say no to term limits. Can you foresee the term limited politicans saying and doing whatthehellever they want or desire?

A better idea is to allow for the recall of Representatives and Senators.

THAT would keep them in line

Probably unnecessary. President Trump has pretty much ignored these misfits and losers, which is a perfectly legitimate response under the U.S. Constitution.

Thoughts:

1. Term limits stifle free speach. If I have a good rep and want to continue voting for them, there is NO reason I shouldn't be able to.

2. Conservatives USED to be against term limits. During the Reagan admin, I believe it was.

3. Return public service to what the Founders envisioned - SERVICE - no retirement, no lifetime benefits or medical care, and pay equal to jury duty, and we wouldn't NEED term limits.

4. I DO NOT trust Republicans, in any way, whatsoever, to follow any guidelines set forth for an Article V convention. They already disregard the Constitution on a daily basis. Their eager participation in this travesty that is the impeachment farce is just one example. What makes you think they will follow any guidelines for this? They won't. It will be only a matter of time before backroom deals are cut between left and right, and the ultimate loser will be, once again, we, the People.

Just say no to Article V.

And just how would you do that?

Thoughts:

While there are several changes I would like to see in the Constitution, they would be no cure for what is going on with the Democrats today.

Enacting or amending laws is no cure for lawlessness. If people won't obey the laws we have, why would they obey new ones?

To fix lawlessness, cultural and spiritual cures are necessary.

Our first Article Five Convention should target the repeal of the 17th amendment, the direct election of Senators. This is clearly something that needs to be done and I believe is achievable.

How about this: add to the Impeachment clause that the House must act exactly like any federal Grand Jury; that all the Federal rules of evidence must be followed; that representations by any House member in any House Committee performing an impeachment investigation must be true and factual under penalty of perjury.

Note this would apply to any impeachment inquiry, not just impeachment of the President.

Perpetuate and Perpetrate are words that frequently get confused with each other.

The problem with a constitutional convention is that it cannot be limited to any one specific issue. We need to secure both houses before it should be undertaken.
