BREAKING: Ted Cruz Introduces Constitutional Amendment

I completely agree. The only problem I have with the absence of term limits amendment is I can't vote in districts where stupid people continually reelect stupid corrupt career politicians. I hold my politicians accountable and do vote against all incumbents in the primary. If these career criminals actually had to go back to their districts and work in the same economic climates they created, maybe they would understand that their stupid utopian, nanny-state ideas aren't helping.

I've supported them for a long time. Not because I think voters are incompetent, but because politicians lose touch with the voters and the impact of their legislation, especially when they exempt themselves.

I recognize that it is a very personal perspective, as I also believe that 'Politics" should NOT be a career choice, but a sabbatical to give back your time to the country as a true public servant as originally envisioned.

A Constitutional Convention is about the scariest thing I can think of short of the US losing a War.

It's not a Constitutional Convention, it's a Convention of the States to recommend Amendments. It states, key word, OR, on the application of the legislatures...of states. This is a provision suggested by Hamilton because they wanted a fail safe in the event the congress became too greedy/power hungry. The language is pretty clear.

Article. 5.
The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, OR, ON THE APPLICATION OF THE LEGISLATURES OF TWO THIRDS OF THE SEVERAL STATES, SHALL CALL A CONVENTION FOR PROPOSING AMENDMENTS, WHICH, IN EITHER CASE, SHALL BE VALID to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.
