President Donald Trump resurrected a campaign talking point Monday afternoon, tweeting about a meeting he had with lawmakers in favor of congressional term limits.
I recently had a terrific meeting with a bipartisan group of freshman lawmakers who feel very strongly in favor of Congressional term limits. I gave them my full support and endorsement for their efforts. #DrainTheSwamp

Trump first pitched the idea at a Colorado campaign rally in 2016, calling for a congressional amendment to put a six-year maximum on House members and a 12-year limit on senators.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has previously expressed his opposition to term limits, an idea that has been considered by Republicans for years but never garnered enough congressional support to be executed.
Congressional term limits make sense in our era of gerrymandered safe seats. I think I’m going to vomit since I agree with Trump.
Ah, your full support. Wow. Strong (or powerful). That full support and two bucks gets a man his morning covfefe. Poor dotard struggled mightily (well, his party did) to get a fucking tax cut passed, so this sounds like a slam dunk.
Who knew Constitutional amendments could be so complicated?
Always the frontman, the limelight. I know Trump doesn’t read, but can’t he get William Burroughs on Audible or have Sarah read to him?

Sure. How about term limits for Federal Judges, too.?
