GOP Senators Come Up With A Solution To Drain The Swamp Once And For All

The late Robin Williams once said, “Politicians should wear sponsor jackets like Nascar drivers, then we know who owns them.” This is exactly the problem with having career politicians they get bought by companies and then will act in their best interests as opposed to the American peoples’. Senator Ted Cruz and a few other GOP senators have come forward with a bill to impose term limits, preventing politicians from becoming corporate shills.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), along with Sens. Mike Braun (R-Ind.), Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Todd Young (R-Ind.), and Rick Scott (R-Fla.), today reintroduced an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would impose term limits on Members of Congress. U.S. Senators would be limited to two six-year terms and members of the House of Representatives to three two year terms.

Upon reintroduction, Sen. Cruz said:

“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.

“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.”

This would be great. It would bring more credibility to Washington and with any luck cause our politicians to work for us instead of special interest groups/sponsors. But seeing as Dems are going against the constitution right now with their Trump impeachment, it seems they don’t care much for what the founding fathers intended.
