How we get Term Limits.

How we get Term Limits.

To establish Term Limits for Congress, the following steps would be needed:

Constitutional Amendment: To impose term limits on members of Congress, a constitutional amendment would be required. This is because the U.S. Constitution does not currently limit how many terms members of Congress can serve.

The process for a constitutional amendment involves either:

1: Congress passing an amendment with a two-thirds majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. 2: A convention of states called for by two-thirds of state legislatures (34 states), which would then propose the amendment.

After either method, the proposed amendment must then be ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures (38 states) or through ratifying conventions.

State-Level Initiatives: In some states, lawmakers have passed term limits for state legislators. While these don't affect federal lawmakers, they show the level of public support for term limits in some areas.

Federal efforts to impose term limits have been introduced in Congress over the years, but none have passed at the federal level, even though public polling has shown support for such limits.
