 term limits, we have been hearing calls for all of my lifetime, which aught to be clear enough evidence that they don't care what you want;


12 states have now passed formal resolutions demanding a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on members of Congress. That’s not a symbolic gesture. It’s a coordinated push under Article V of the U.S. Constitution, which allows state legislatures to initiate amendments without needing Congress to sign off. The threshold is 34 states. These 12 are already in.

Florida passed House Concurrent Resolution 693 during its 2024 legislative session. Alabama, Indiana, Louisiana, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Wisconsin followed with similar measures. Each resolution calls for a U.S. Term Limits Convention. The language varies slightly, but the intent is identical: cap the time lawmakers can sit in Washington.

Governor Ron DeSantis has been traveling state to state with the U.S. Term Limits organization, urging legislatures to join the effort. He told Ohio lawmakers in May, “D.C. will never fix itself. Term limits will change the incentives for members of Congress from focusing on reelection to focusing on tangible accomplishments.” That quote is now pinned across conservative media feeds..........more.......
