Term Limits

Term limits from the smallest level all the way to the Oval office have been in effect since this country was started. The main reason for term limits is to prevent tyranny (as we fought against the British due to their tyranny on us).
Now under the Constitution, the members of the U.S. Senate are able to serve an infinite number of six-year terms (Boundless). House of Representative members are able to serve an infinite number of two-year terms (Boundless). Reformers in the 90’s put the congressional term limits on the ballot (Boundless).The main Republican platform was to pass some legislation for term limits within Congress (Boundless). The proposed amendment was never passed. (Boundless).
There are some major hurdles between the proposed
This ‘society’ rule means that those who have spent the most time in office gain more power as what any form of seniority means (Messerli).
The no side is more short and doesn’t have as many reasons however, it is still a voice that needs to be heard as there are two sides in conflict; large or small. Some say that term limits dismiss the good ones who may deserve to stay in office for a job well done (Messerli). Now, this is a good one for the no side; every job give a new learning experience, any new politician would have to go through the same process once more (Messerli).
The politicians that leave their office take along experience and hard earned contacts that are essential to get things done as in the old saying ‘I scratch your back you scratch mine.’ (Messerli). So all the new members would need to start over. Politicians who are in their last term have increased risk to ignore the people since they will not face the ballot again
Though under the Constitution, the president has no ‘formal’ role to play in approving a constitutional amendment, which I do find a little odd but I cannot really argue with (Donald Trump).
On the campaign trail Trump’s team had sent out a press release that was emailed during one of his many speeches; "Decades of failure in Washington, and decades of special interest dealing, must come to an end," it says. "We have to break the cycle of corruption, and we have to give new voices a chance to go into government service. The time for Congressional term limits has arrived." (Donald Trump).
The document has calls for the term limits that with any term that had begun before the amendment's acceptance, would not count toward an individual lawmaker's limit; I guess they would be grandfathered in as many laws have done before (Porter).
“It is well past time to put an end to the cronyism and deceit that has transformed Washington into a graveyard of good intentions," Senator Cruz had made in a statement to the press. "The time is now for Congress, with the overwhelming support of the American people, to submit this constitutional amendment to the states for speedy ratification."
