One more thing before more football.  It's worrisome that so many people, like you, who are unfortunately allowed to vote, do so based on fake news, lies, suppositons, and downright ignorance. 

A prime example is someone who votes for Trump based on a promise he'll impose term limits on Congress, all while being completely bereft of a clue about what it actually would take to accomplish that.  :roll eyes:

Also the same people who claimed Hillary would take their guns away by revoking the 2nd amendment.  Not a clue on how our government works.

No one has been able to accomplish that and it's been tried before so I knew that wasn't about to happen.

Term limits has never been tried before in Congress as the Congress men and women would block that. It has always been brought up for discussion but the career politicians wouldn't pass that if it was brought up for a vote. It is only recently that the 2nd. Amendment has even been brought up for discussion, I believe in light of all the shootings that takes place but it won't happen either.

The Senate soundly rejected an amendment Thursday from Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) supporting term limits on members of Congress.

DeMint's amendment would have expressed the non-binding sense of the Senate that the Constitution ought to be amended to place limits on how long members of Congress can serve. It was soundly rejected in a 24-75 vote.

"We must reassure Americans that we're here to serve them and not ourselves," DeMint said prior to the vote. "Congressmen and senators have lots of power... and unfortunately, we've seen that that power over a period of time creates more opportunity and temptation for us to benefit ourselves rather than our constituents.

"All of the cases of corruption and bribery that I've seen, unfortunately, come from more senior members," continued DeMint. "No offense to my senior members, please. But this is just one of many reasons why we should have term limits in Congress."

Assistant Majority Leader Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) struck a populist tone in arguing that it ought to be left to voters, not lawmakers, to decide how long each member serves. 

"For some members of Congress, two years in office is too long and for some members of Congress, 20 years in office is not long enough," said Durbin, who is serving his third six-year term in the Senate. "Who should make that decision? The Constitution in its wisdom says the voters of America make that decision. Let's stand by that Constitution and its language and defeat this sense of the senate resolution."

The term-limit plan was offered as an amendment to the STOCK Act, legislation that would prohibit members of Congress from making financial moves based on non-public information that they obtain in the course of their work.

No, stupid, I am not related to Troll and don't even know him except for on here. Being intelligent isn't a strong suit of yours is it?
