GOP Lawmakers Push for Congressional Term Limits as 119th Congress Begins | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The new Congress has just started, but an age-old issue is taking center stage: term limits for lawmakers. The issue is being backed by some GOP members and even President-elect Donald Trump, and it's gaining momentum. 90% of Americans support term limits for lawmakers in Congress. But right now, there are no limits and never have been. Now, a push is being made by some GOP lawmakers. They say age and illness play a part, plus, they add many are out for themselves instead of serving the American public. South Carolina Congressman Ralph Norman is leading the effort in the House. Representative Norman says, "Six years in the House is fine. Two terms in the Senate is fine. The push back is coming from those who just want to come up here and live off the government. It's just not right and not what the framers intended." While Florida Senator Rick Scott is leading the effort in the upper chamber.
