Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has introduced legislation to impose term limits on members of Congress with the hope of removing “entrenched politicians who prey upon the brokenness of Washington.”
Joined by Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) in the House, Cruz’s proposed constitutional amendment seeks to limit senators to two six-year terms and House members to three two-year terms.
“Term limits are critical to fixing what’s wrong with Washington, D.C.,” Cruz said in a statement. “The Founding Fathers envisioned a government of citizen legislators who would serve for a few years and return home, not a government run by a small group of special interests and lifelong, permanently entrenched politicians who prey upon the brokenness of Washington to govern in a manner that is totally unaccountable to the American people.”
Cruz added that term limits are important to restore accountability within Congress.
“Terms limits brings about accountability that is long overdue and I urge my colleagues to advance this amendment along to the states so that it may be quickly ratified and become a constitutional amendment,” Cruz added.
Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) was among 11 senators who co-sponsored the bill, saying that “too often, senators and members of Congress become out of touch with the rest of the country when they find themselves in Washington for too long.”
Cruz has previously introduced legislation to impose term limits in each of the three prior Congresses.
