Should we limit the terms of congress via petition?
the tenth amendment states The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
since we are the people, should we limit the shelf life of politicians in the US Congress
I personally think that members of the house of representatives should have the same shelf life as the president (8 years - 4 elected terms) and the Senate should have the limit of 20 years or (2 terms and a midterm election for ousted members.) If we get this on a ballot in your state and pass that law, the people through the states they live in could effectively limit the congress that still has a 10% approval.
its early ... 15 years* for senate
im just thinking maybe by limiting the terms we clean out the left overs from the 70s and 80s that are still holding down seats, and allowing others to run for that office. yes there will be corruption...because the ones passing the laws... dont make the corruption that they are committing illegal -_-... but doing something is better than just sitting back and letting the same old stuff happen over and over.
