The Senate is half of Congress. The other half of Congress is the House of Representatives.
That requires a Constitutional Amendment. A Constitutional Amendment requires that 2/3 of the Legislators that would be term limited, in BOTH chambers of Congress, VOTE to limit their own terms and THEN the Amendment has to be ratified by 3/4 of the State Legislatures. And many of those legislators WANT to be Federal Legislators.
(and PLEASE...spare me the Congress of states route, that has happened exactly ONCE in our nations history, in 1787 and STILL requires 3/4 of the states to ratify an amendment introduced by 2/3 of the states)
Bottom line, spoiler alert: Ain't gonna happen.
On the other hand, YOU have the opportunity to limit their terms every two years. But the vast majority of people can't even tell you WHO their representatives and Senators ARE. Can't name them, wouldn't know them if they bumped into them. Don't check their voting records, which is all public info., have no idea what their positions are. Are you kidding? They don't even know their names! YOU don't even know the names of the two chambers of Congress!!!!!!
AND...
Only a little over half the people in the country are registered to vote, and maybe 65% of them actually vote.
Our representatives are being elected by 35% of people who could vote, most of them couldn't name the people they voted for and YOU think the solution is to ask the politicians to limit their own terms?!?!?!?! 🤡🤪
A representative Republic requires the attention of the electorate. Putting it on auto pilot and just flushing out everyone every few years...just because "time's up!"...would not only NOT be a representative Republic, it's ASININE!!!!!!! You can't fix STUPID with a policy of just replacing everyone on a timeclock!
