Bwhaa! Haa! Even if there was an appetite for it, the average length of time to get a Constitutional Amendment approved is eight years. Trump would be working on his Presidential library by the time if made it through the process.

Hey give him a break. He doesn’t know the Constitution, let alone what it takes to get it amended. He thinks just them voting on it will do the trick. He figures the Democrats + the Never-Trumpers is more than enough votes to pass it. 8>)

If you exclude the 27th amendment it’s a lot less.

Trump would be working on his Presidential library by the time if made it through the process. ............................... and with Chelsea Clinton in office there would be no need for it. When Trump Jr takes the WH back, they will re introduce it. (Dream scenario, maybe a nightmare one?)

Could this be a tacit admission that there will never be another Democratic president?

I’d prefer it if Democrats would call for term limits in both Houses of Congress.
Guess that would go over like a lead balloon in a hail storm.

Just like their proposal....
