The has come for term limits

The time has come for Congressional term limits.

One indicator from this political season, particularly when viewing the conservative portion of the nation, is that a majority of voters are disgusted with elected officials in both the US Senate and House of Representatives.  So the time has come.

It is time for an amendment to the Constitution limiting the terms of those elected to Congress.  Such limits can be constructed rather simply.  Specifically, an individual could serve no more than two cumulative terms, elected or appointed, in either the House and/or Senate.  Pure and simple.

If a two term limit is appropriate for the presidency, then it is equally appropriate for the members of Congress.

One cannot help but be aware of the vitriol aimed at members of congress from both parties.  Almost uniformly, those attracting the most negative comments are those who have been there the longest.  And, it can reasonably be argued, those there the longest have become the least connected with their constituents.

For obvious reasons, it is not likely the current congress would submit such an amendment for consideration by the states.  Therefore, the states must convene a Constitutional Convention to pursue this objective, per Article 5 of the Constitution.

Now is the time.
