Congressional Term-Limit & Ethics Amendment
Should we have a Constitutional Amendment setting Congressonal term limits, reforming campaign finance and setting a steel-clad code of ethics for both Houses of Congress?
Why is this important?
Congressmen should be limited to 12 years, maximum, per House. They should live on the income we pay them -- not "speaking" or "consulting" fees. They should return to live in the society they create while in office. Campaign finance reform from a government pool limits campaign spending and eliminates the ridiculous Citizens United decision. Forcing them to live on the salary we pay them pries them out of the pockets of their monied overlords. They won't do it themselves.
