Washington, DC — Senator Ted Budd (R-NC) has co-sponsored a Constitutional Amendment for the 119th Congress, which would impose term limits on members of Congress. Under the amendment, House members would be limited to three terms, and Senators would be limited to two terms.
The amendment was originally introduced by Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC).
Also today, Senator Budd received an award from U.S. Term Limits, the leading organization advocating for term limits at all levels of government.
Sen. Budd said in a statement:
“America’s founders always intended for our legislature to be made up of everyday citizens who temporarily serve in public office and then return home to their communities. Establishing term limits through a Constitutional amendment would permanently break the cycle of career politicians and bring new voices to Washington with real-world experience from all walks of American life. Term limits will force politicians to think less about their next election and more about the next generation.”
