I don’t like McConnel, and I don’t like “term limits” either; that’s what elections are for.

If I liked my elected representative and thought they had kept doing a good job, I’d not agree that they should be kicked out of office just because someone thought they “had been there too long”.

I say yes, make the claim, but let the voter decide.

Maybe THE one thing the Founding Fathers missed......of course, back then they fully expected that everyone would put country before self and not exploit their position for personal gain.

Change it from 6 years to 4. Why should senators be special?

Term limit bureaucrats and ‘staffers’ NOT elected officials.

I think all candidates over 70 should take and pass a cognitive test. Biden looks and sounds like a blithering idiot imo.

“And he suggested it would put the Senate at a disadvantage to the House, where the Speaker does not have a term limit”

Now you’re thinking! Term limits all around....

Of course, elections also allow voters to vote in those who will vote for term limits.

But the bigger solution is cutting down to constitutionality what the government does, and so the power it has—especially at the federal and state levels.

McConnell, who has served more than 17 years as Senate GOP leader.

It’s what lobbyists call a gold mine any party is welcome.

They’re talking about term limits for serving in the position as Minority / Majority Leader…NOT for serving as a senator (though they should be).

I’d favor some type of limit as the longer one is in charge, the more they can leverage their power, blackmail others to support them etc.

I’d bet turtle had enough goods on others to hold his office for years to come.

McConnell should shut up. His time is done.
