Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, joined five other Republicans on Monday in moving to restrict the number of times members of Congress can be reelected. The legislation revives Cruz's earlier idea for a constitutional amendment on term limits. SEN. RICK SCOTT'S BIG IDEA: IMPOSE CONGRESSIONAL TERM LIMITS"It’s no wonder that the vast majority of Americans from every political stripe – Republicans, Democrats, and Independents – overwhelmingly support congressional term limits," he wrote. As I have done in the past, I urge my colleagues to submit this constitutional amendment to the states for speedy ratification." Term Limits v. Thornton, held that the only way to impose term limits on Congress would be through a rare constitutional amendment -- there have only been 27 in American history.
