Man Running For Third Senate Term Files Constitutional Amendment Limiting Future US Senators To Two Terms

Via press release from Sen. Ted Cruz:

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) today introduced an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to impose term limits on members of Congress. The amendment would limit U.S. Senators to two six-year terms and Members of the U.S. House of Representatives to three two-year terms after the date of its enactment.

“Term limits are critical to fixing what’s wrong with Washington, D.C. The Founding Fathers envisioned a government of citizen legislators who would serve for a few years and return home, not a government run by a small group of special interests and lifelong, permanently entrenched politicians who prey upon the brokenness of Washington to govern in a manner that is totally unaccountable to the American people. Terms limits brings about accountability that is long overdue and I urge my colleagues to advance this amendment along to the states so that it may be quickly ratified and become a constitutional amendment.”

Cruz likes the idea of term-limiting but will not promise to cap his own service. 🤦‍♂️

In fact, he’s proposing a lifetime two-term limit for Senate members while running for a third. https://t.co/VF3Qay9EVr
