MUST WATCH VIDEO - Term Limits for Congress

14% approval rating. LOL

Congress sucks and that is a bi-partisan view.

There's no term limits for lobbyists. Feeding them a steady stream of political novices would be a wet dream.

 

[Rambunctious]

That's why they had to put up a fence around the capitol....

 

[sparky]

wow, did he ever 'rip 'em a new one'!

~S~

I think Congress would have to write the term-limits law and vote on it.

Good luck getting it passed.

Or simply ban lobbyists altogether....

Term limits hell, how about an age limit.

The first amendment shields lobbyists from direct regulation. The citizens united decision didn't help on the integrity front one bit.

In Virginia the governor is limited to a single term. What it means in practice is that we have only lame duck governors and they are generally useless and make state government inefficient.

Congress already has term limits
Two years in the House and six in the Senate

We need term limits for the Supreme Court
20 years

In conjunction with term limits, we need publicly funded campaigns (absolutely no private money), and eliminate all entertainment by lobbyists.

Term limits would be unconstitutional.

That ship has sailed. Now that money=speech we have no way short of a new admendment to get big money influence out of politics.

Outlawing private money would mean that rich candidates would have the advantage over poor ones, since they can't be stopped from using their personal fortunes for their campaign.

Not only does money=speech, but corporations=people.

In effect we have the foxes in charge of the hen house.

Most lobbiest are from the very offices they are lobbying. Fix that problem first and then go for term limits.

Of course they won't do that, which is why states need to amend the Constitution and do it themselves

Support the Article V movement, or just be happy with an oppressive oligarchy made up of clowns.

We have that now too.

We can't afford it!
