Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) introduced new legislation last week that would enforce term limits for U.S. Senators; you can have two six-year terms but then you have to go, Cruz says.
The bill would be constructed as a constitutional amendment; it would also limit House representatives to three two-year terms.
Cruz released an official statement on the legislation thus:
“Term limits are critical to fixing what’s wrong with Washington, D.C. The Founding Fathers envisioned a government of citizen legislators who would serve for a few years and return home, not a government run by a small group of special interests and lifelong, permanently entrenched politicians who prey upon the brokenness of Washington to govern in a manner that is totally unaccountable to the American people. Terms limits brings about accountability that is long overdue and I urge my colleagues to advance this amendment along to the states so that it may be quickly ratified and become a constitutional amendment.”
The amendment was cosponsored by Sens. J.D. Vance (R-OH), Bill Hagerty (R-TN), Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Roger Marshall (R-KS), Mike Lee (R-UT), Steve Daines (R-MT), Todd Young (R-IN), Mike Braun (R-IN), Rick Scott (R-FL), Josh Hawley (MO), and Tommy Tuberville (R-AL).
Cruz on earlier in the week also suggested the FBI should search the home and office used by Hunter Biden for any classified materials after such documents were found at President Biden’s home in Delaware and a Washington, D.C., office he’d previously used.
“It seems he leaves classified documents wherever he goes. And we also know that Hunter Biden at times was — declared his residence to be those very same places,” Cruz told Fox on Sunday Morning.
“I also believe it is critical for the FBI to search Hunter Biden’s homes, home and office residences to make sure there are no classified documents there, given all the evidence that’s piling up. We need to ascertain who’s had access to what and when,” Cruz added
House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) has asked the White House for visitor logs to the residence, but the administration has said no such logs exist.
Hunter Biden has been a key focus in Republican plans to investigate the Biden family and their business dealings.
