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.
The problem with elections is this: they have been bastardized.
How about repeal of the 17th Amendment go back to what the Founding Fathers intended. Each senator speaks corporately for his state. Repealing the 17th restores a republican form of government. Today’s system just treats him as a long serving congresscritter-at-large by doing so it introduces the partisanship of the House into the Senate. The Founding Fathers system would introduce a tendency for a built-in cap in multiple Senate terms. Every state legislator & state grandee would see themselves in that chair. It might be modified by allowing the governor or any state legislator to introduce a bill of “no confidence” in the senator allowing a removal and a new appointee prior to the end of the 6-year term. Another small modification might be allowing the state legislature 30 days to appoint a senator failure to do so would mean the governor could appoint into serve for a year then the state legislature would have another opportunity to appoint.
But, bur, but what “IF” the voters are too stoopid?
Well...I do like TERM LIMITS we term limit the POTUS....about time we term limit them all.
Repeal the 17th.
