Ted Cruz Introduces Amendment Limiting Senators To 2 Terms, House Members to 3 Terms
January 27, 2021
by Martin Walsh
Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz has introduced a constitutional amendment that would set term limits on members of Congress.
“Today my colleagues and I reintroduced a constitutional amendment to impose #TermLimits on Members of Congress,†the Texas Republican tweeted Monday. “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.â€
“Every year, Congress spends billions of dollars on giveaways for the well-connected: Washington insiders get taxpayer money and members of Congress get re-elected, all while the system fails the American people. It’s no wonder that the vast majority of Americans from every political stripe – Republicans, Democrats, and Independents – overwhelmingly support congressional term limits,†said Sen. Cruz.
The amendment would limit U.S. senators to two six-year terms and members of the House of Representatives to three two-year terms.
“The rise of political careerism in today’s Congress is a sharp departure from what the Founders intended for our federal governing bodies. I have long called for this solution for the brokenness of Washington, D.C., and I will continue fighting to hold career politicians accountable. As I have done in the past, I urge my colleagues to submit this constitutional amendment to the states for speedy ratification,†Cruz said.
