Term Limits

The 22nd Amendment of the Constitution proposed by the Republican Congress and ratified in 1951. The amendment limits a person to two full elected terms as president.

This has served the people of America very well and has made great strides to keep the corruption out of the people's government. The American government needs to add to the 22nd Amendment that no person serve more than two full elected or appointed terms.

Look back at the political scene, "Seniority in Politics" senators, congressmen, the Supreme Court, public jobs from the local, state and federal level, all have proven that seniority is "power," that the average man or woman cannot deal with and stay honest and true to serving the American people.

Term limits for all is a fair addition to the 22nd Amendment and the new administration, if it is truly for an honest and transparent government, will introduce this as a bill in its first session.
