A necessary and long overdue reform is making progress, slowly but surely!
Maybe in my remaining lifetime I will witness this important and long overdue reform to become enshrined in the US Constitution!
To heck with too many mediocre life-time career elected representatives in Western democracies! An elected office should be only for a limited time like a court juror or the US President!
Quite possibly, Joseph Biden would never have become President of the 46th US President with term limits!
Quoting from an email I received today from the US Term Limits:
"Here's where our movement stands today:
>>> More than 80% of Americans support term limits for Congress. It is the most popular reform idea in America.
>>> So far twelve states have officially passed our term limits convention legislation. Many, many more will have the opportunity to vote on it this winter.
Congress cannot stop the states from beginning this process of amending the Constitution. In fact, Congress will be forced to pass a term limits amendment itself rather than allow the states to unilaterally impose one!
>>> 102 members of the U.S. House have now publicly signed on to our term limits amendment in the U.S. House. Nearly one fifth of the senate has done the same.
>>> 220 non-incumbent candidates for Congress in 2026 have signed our pledge to support USTLs term limits amendment.
>>> 1,547 incumbent state legislators have signed our pledge vote for the Term Limits Convention to amend the constitution.
>>> 599 non-incumbent candidates for state legislatures have signed that pledge to!"
