Adam Hamilton
Senate · Kansas · Democrat
“Pass a constitutional amendment establishing term limits for members of Congress in the U.S. House of Representatives, U.S. Senate, and the Supreme Court. The longer elected officials remain in Washington, the more entrenched and cozier with special interests and lobbyists they become – no matter which side of the aisle they serve on. Establishing 18-year term limits would be one of the most effective, and efficient, ways we could remake, and eventually fix, a broken Congress.”
