 @e4576eea Term limits on congressional seats is a horrific idea. Simply look at the mess states (like Michigan) found itself in after limiting the terms of state legislators to understand why. I’m all for limiting the power someone can accrue as a senior member of their respective house, which would take changes in that house’s rules (not a constitutional amendment), but codifying term limits in the Constitution will guarantee special interest control of Congress for generations.
