Checkbox Green US Senators Should Have 2 Term Limit
One of my biggest beefs about the American Government is the fact that Senators can be elected to an unlimited amount terms. US Senators should have a 2 term limit! US Senators are elected to 6 years terms...2 terms is 12 years and that is ENOUGH!

Corruption is the biggest problem when Senators are in for too long. Also, this would give us some fresh air every once in a while! I mean Ted Kennedy is a murderer and gets elected over and over and over. He needs to go bye-bye! Robert Byrd from W.Va (the KKK Grand Dragon) needs to get his old, bitter ### home and retire! It is ridiculous.

What do you all think? Should we try for a petition to change the Constitution to force a two-year term limit on these arrogant pricks? I am really growing disillusioned with our government these days, I tell ya.

Yup, Robert Byrd sitting up in the Senate hacking, barely speaking, barely holding his head up, ranting, raving and the like is ridiculous! He needs to go back to West Virginia, resume his Grand Dragon-ship with the KKK and let the Senate have a breath of fresh air, SHEESH.

How To Force Two-Term Limits On Senators?

LOL, that's about the truth there! Shoot Republican's have been spending like drunken sailors for a long time now as well. HOW do we MAKE them stop at 2 terms? Do we get a grassroots petition going and FORCE it to be on the ballot for a constitutional change? I am not an expert on how to do that. BUT, it needs done NOW!

An argument I just read that opposes term limits states:
Quote:
Most obviously, the role of seniority has declined sharply in term-limited states, affecting committee appointments and operations and the selection and activity of leaders. The absence of long-term relationships among legislators themselves and between legislators and lobbyists and bureaucrats has disrupted previous patterns of behavior, with consequences not only for their relative power but also for the legislative culture itself
.

Now isn't the point to reduce the power of the "Seniors" and their behind the scenes dealings with lobbyists?
