Enact Congressional term limits

Created by K.C. on March 06, 2013

It's time for the American people to stand up and tell Washington, DC to enact Congressional term limits!

The term of office for a Congressman in the House of Representatives is two years. The term of office for a Senator in the Senate is six years. However, Congress has NO TERM limits thanks to the Thornton decision of 1995!

A Representative may serve for as many consecutive or non-consecutive two year terms as they manage to get elected for, and a Senator may serve for as many consecutive or non-consecutive six year terms as they are appointed for.

The politicians who have been in office for decades are no longer serving the American people's interests, and we need fresh ideas and perspectives!

Enact Congressional term limits now! Out with the old and in with the new!
