    Actually term limits for Congress are part of the Article V Convention that has been proposed and voted on by several state legislatures, that's why I asked if Trump has made any statement about the Article V Convention.

    The plan will be to get a new amendment to the constitution. I can't imagine why anyone would not want this except for those in congress.

    Would love to see this happen. Would love to see it limited to one term!

    An Article V Convention of States isn't the same thing as an open Constitutional Convention. Only the specific amendments that have been put forward during the process of getting state legislatures to vote for the convention will be voted on at such a convention.

    So if we have a government full of worthless a**holes from local to federal who are only there to line their pockets, pillage, plunder, control, and pervert the Constitution, how will they follow it after they make changes under an article 5 convention? The Constitution is not followed now as it is and hasn't been for a long time hence the current state of affairs in the United States and the world for that matter. Most politicians today are only there to manipulate, control, subvert, and steal from the public.

    The fact of the matter is that the Constitution is not the problem... The government we have is a shadow of our decaying society.
