We have term limits on congress, they're called elections. I for one do not want the federal government stripping away more choices.
Unfortunately, that method has failed. Drastic measures are needed at this point including getting rid of the administrative state.
Since Congress gave up their authority with Chevron (glad it was overturned or will be) they don't deserve to be in office more than 12 years either.
Could not agree more.Instead of term limits for congress I propose.
1) repealing the 17th amendment
2) a law limiting congress to a max of 120 days in session per year or May 30th end day whichever comes first
3) reducing pay from a yearly salary to daily pay of $670 for every day in session. don't show up to work you don't get paid.
4) eliminate per diem, pension and health coverage
5) build a dorm with cafeteria where they stay and eat while in session
6) pass a law making sitting congress members subject to every law they pass
Unless income from outside sources is blocked, that would give us a completely bought and paid for legislature. Yes worse than now.Instead of term limits for congress I propose.
