What about Sanders? How about Warren?

We need congressional primary attendance to break 15% before we get to complain about term limits. If you don’t show up when you have a say, then you are responsible for the career politicians.

We should be voting twice every two years, not once every four, for federal elections alone.

neither were president or are in this picture? so what about them?

You asked about creating term limits. There are limits on presidential terms, so I assumed you meant congressional term limits. No? Am I missing your point?

the OP posted Pic about presidents. my comment was did any of those presidents introduce term limits on congress or SCOTUS, etc.

I'd have loved Warren or Sanders, but neither were president.

Term limits would require legislation written by Congress. They cannot be implemented by POTUS.

I'm sure an executive order or thirty would have sufficed in leau of proper legislation.

see: current administration

Executive orders can just be repealed by the next administration. The most it could possibly affect is one House term.

I hope you're aware that Sanders was never president. But also that he's not a democra, which folks sometimes forget.

They’re asking about enacting term limits. There is a presidential term limit, so I assumed they were talking about Congress.
