Arkansas voters approved the state’s first term limits in 1992, an effort that had the backing of Republicans, who were then in the minority. The U.S. Supreme Court struck down state-imposed term limits for members of Congress in 1995, eliminating restrictions that Arkansas voters had approved. Clark said he campaigned for Arkansas’ legislative term limits in 1992, but now believes they went too far. “Term limits was a good idea, but we made them too short,” Clark said.
