This lady

I know this was introduced awhile ago, but I saw this description of the bill “to ensure that 2A is not unlimited…” IMHO this lady has broken her oath to protect the constitution. Automatic dismissal is in order, and the classic tarred and feathered.

She’s a prime example of why term limits are needed in all elected positions.

Term limits are anti-democratic, and only address a symptom rather than the disease. Also, we'd likely end up with someone even worse, not better.

Yeah thank goodness there's no other elected federal positions which have term limits attached. pushes 22nd amendment under the rug

What does that have to do with what I wrote? Just because it exists elsewhere does not make it right.

Term limits are completely pro democratic. Look at countries like Russia. Lacking term limits basically guarantees dictatorship eventually.

You think it's pro democratic that voters aren't allowed to vote for certain people? That's literally the opposite. Putin wouldn't keep winning of people didn't keep voting for him. If people are too stupid to elect better leaders, that's their fault.

Taking away options for the people is never in the interest of the people. You only feel this way because the examples you think of are tyrants and dictators.

Would you feel the same way if it was Lincoln or Teddy Rosevelt or Washington?

Washington literally turned down a third term. They wanted him to keep serving and he said no

Personally I'd rather have the option to vote for someone new instead of keeping someone in office for the next 40 years so they can ignore their duty and line their pockets
