Ted Cruz wants to change the Constitution to prevent voters from re-electing lawmakers like Ted Cruz. (via MaddowBlog)
Evidently, Sen. Ted Cruz hopes to renew the same debate. The Texas Republican introduced a proposed constitutional amendment to create term limits this week, and argued in“Term limits are critical to fixing what’s wrong with Washington, D.C.
We already have term limits; they’re called elections. The mechanism for change was built into the Constitution from the outset: Voters can evaluate their members of Congress when they run for re-election. If the public is satisfied, those lawmakers stay in office. If not, they’re replaced with someone else. The power is where it belongs: in the hands of the electorate. “Accountability,” to borrow Cruz’s term, is already baked into the political cake.
