    A populist idea that will get no traction in a Congress run by Senate GOP leader (in office since 1985), a Senate Dem leader (in chamber since 1999 and House before then), a House speaker (in office since '99) and House Dem leader (serving since '87).https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/991028027785138177 …

    I recently had a terrific meeting with a bipartisan group of freshman lawmakers who feel very strongly in favor of Congressional term limits. I gave them my full support and endorsement for their efforts. #DrainTheSwamp

        This idea was proposed by a president who fantasized aloud about being President for life.

        They can all be voted out at any time. Voters that can't be bothered to show up, and to make informed and intelligent choices is the problem. Let's fix that.

        What about the common sense idea of voting them out of office? But, alas, we wouldn't want the electorate to actually be responsible for the government, good or bad.

        I think that term limits, while attractive on the face of it, ensure the permanent presence of legislative amateurs. The cynic will say, “what’s the downside?” But it would lead to chaos and no hope ever of getting back to cohesive constructive legislation

        Implying this horribly misguided idea would get any traction if leadership were filled with people first elected 10 years ago rather than 20 or 40.

        It's not clear that Congressional limits would drain the swamp. Look at the tea party crew, which is more like a wrecking crew paid by the oligarchs than people who are serious about governing for the people.

        Trump should lead by example and limit himself to one term. Term limits a terrible idea for a host of reasons, not the least of which is both in terms of policy and procedure it would produce an even less effective Congress.
