    Senator Ted Cruz‏Verified account @SenTedCruz Jan 3

    Today @RepRooney and I 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.

        For too long, members of Congress have abused their power and ignored the will of the American people. Term limits on members of Congress offer a solution to the brokenness we see in Washington, D.C. It is long past time for Congress to hold itself accountable.

        How about Congress makes minimum wage? Do you want the same person that screws up your drive in order making important decisions for the nation? Their pay is reasonable compared to the private sector...if they work. A gridlocked Congress that accomplishes nothing is overpaid

        They could probably care less about their pay. Most of them make their money from lobbyist who buy their votes. They probably make 10x more money then what their paychecks. I like your thought process though.

        As soon as a Congressman gets elected the first thing they are thinking about is the next election in 2 years. The longer they are in Congress the more power they try to grab.

        How about they are required to stay in their DC offices w/no support, cleaning staff until it is resolved.

        I'm aware. I can also pretty much guarantee he will run for a 3rd term in 6 years, barring this complete sham of an attempt to amend the constitution passing.

        It's not a sham attempt. It's legitimate. If the amendment does not pass, why wouldn't he run for another term?

        If he doesn't think people should serve more than 2 terms in the Senate, why would he run for a 3rd? He should live his own "principles".

        Now this is a dishonest question, u know the answer. People like yourself wouldn’t live by the same set of principles. This why until passed, I wouldn’t go anywhere
