Donald Trump Proposes Another Terrible Idea: Congressional Term Limits

WASHINGTON ― In the final flailing weeks of his presidential campaign, Donald Trump took the time on Tuesday to announce a handful of ethics reforms he would push for as president. Trump called for the passage of a constitutional amendment instituting term limits for Congress on top of a handful of lobbying reforms.

“If I am elected President, I will push for a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress,” Trump said in a statement. “Decades of failure in Washington, and decades of special interest dealing, must come to an end. We have to break the cycle of corruption, and we have to give new voices a chance to go into government service. The time for congressional term limits has arrived.”
