    Term limits! Noone in congress has the guts to introduce a bill into law to make this happen.

    • @jamesbraun9842
      @jamesbraun9842 8 місяців тому +4

      The idea was thrown around a few years ago. (Something like 3 senate terms and 4 house terms). Looked like it would go to the floor and had support until the senators running for a 3rd + term and congress persons running for 4+ terms realized it meant they were effectively ending their career. Everyone else realized it meant they wouldn't be allowed to run for more terms and eventually support for the bill died out.

      @SolaceEasy Not sure of the person who originally said the idea but do remember ,Trumps right Hand aka Ted Cruz said he'd consider term limits for house and senate members if he was elected president during a Q&A which was than mentioned in a blurb on Fox News ,(at the time when Fox News was still Luke Warm on Trump so it had raised heads.)

    • @willishere321

      @@johnnyrocket9372Yes, I definitely would. I’ll never forget hearing his reasoning for not confirming Garland. It was absurd, unpatriotic, and absent of integrity. Regardless of which party it happened to, the issue is that he unilaterally deprived the people of their voices with his actions. Obama was elected, and with that election came the right (or rather the obligation) to ensure any vacancies on the court be filled. Mitch did something unprecedented and will be a stain in American history.
