McCarthy Lays Groundwork for Biden Impeachment Hearings.....

[teetoppz28]

6 years? Personally I'd be a proponent of 12 years (2 Senate terms or 6 House terms).

And btw - let's remember that the President is limited to 10 years (and under most circumstances, 8 years), and that seems to work fine at the highest level of government.

I tend to agree with that limit. Though I'd say two FULL terms (if you get appointed mid-term, those are "free" and don't count toward the term limit) for both the Senate and House, up to four total. If, for example, a house member hits the limit, they can run for Senate, and vice-versa.

Bullseye.

So we have bi-partisan support?

-15 year limit in Senate (2 terms + 1/2 of a pre-appointed term)
-13 year limit in the House (6 terms + 1/2 of a pre-appointed term)
-House and Senate limits are separately counted (so 28 years combined theoretical max)

Ok, now how do we get this into law?

Constitutional amendment. Good luck.

I would absolutely support said bill. I believe one of the major issues in government is it is a "fat and happy" job. Look at all the perks. I'd kill to get as much vacation time as they get. And then you get re-elected based on name recognition. You can't beat it. So yes, term limits are where it's at. Why should the executive branch and legislative branch be held to two different sets of rules? It obviously changed for president after Roosevelt so it can be done.

Exactly. A bunch of people that want to ride the gravy train as long as they can and rake in the cash and benefits are gonna vote against their own self-interest. It's a cute thing for Ted Cruz to step up and propose because he knows it has no shot in hell of passing but he can throw their hands up and say, "Hey I tried!!!!"

But here's the thing. I'm thinking a member that steps down from Congress would have it made.
Speaker fees, sitting on the board of a half dozen corporations and universities at the same time. Millions a year.
And of course showing up on TV as a high paid political consultant for some network.

In some ways, I support term limits, and other times I don't. Marcy Kaptur, from my district in Toledo, has been in the same seat since the early 80's, and she still cares about her constituents. Those in the Senate for the most part, seem to care more about their corporate donors the longer they're in.

I wouldn't fuck her even with bmw's dick (assuming he has one)

...

You didn't answer my question.

There's only one thing I want to know - and that's whether Lester the Nightfly will, if Biden ends up actually being impeached, use an asterisk * next to Biden's name every time he mentions him in here?

The Presidents son may be a complete and total asshole.
Please explain how that reflects on the President.

10 percent to the big guy?

Sonofabitch, they fired the prosecutor that was looking into the company that my son was getting millions from when I threatened to withdraw loan guarantees?

I'm still waiting for our resident political hack to address this.

Whether or not it happens in the next ten minutes, ten days or ten weeks, Trump shall always be burdened with the asterisk of impeachment next to his name forever. History can't change that, it's a done deal. Donald J Trump*

How about we wait until the deed is actually done because right now the Republican house members look so incompetent I'd be surprised if they could spell "cat" even if you spotted them a 'C' and a 'T', let alone craft a successful impeachment effort.
