We need Term Limits


Click here for a Video on Term Limits

Term Limits is still known as the largest grassroots movement in American history, and US Term Limits (USTL) was, and still is, the leader of that movement.

Term limits have been placed on 15 state legislatures, eight of the ten largest cities in America adopted term limits for their city councils and/or mayor, and 37 states place term limits on their constitutional officers. 

A term limit is a legal restriction that limits the number of terms an officeholder may serve in a particular elected office. When term limits are found in presidential and semi-presidential systems they act as a method to curb the potential for monopoly, where a leader effectively becomes "president for life". Sometimes, there is an absolute limit on the number of terms an officeholder can serve, while, in other cases, the restrictions are merely on the number of consecutive terms.

I say we did not elect a president for life. We should limit the term to two terms. Anything over that is trouble, and tends to become a President for life. Is that what we want? I say NO. We have to avoid that.

I remember when we voted for term limits, not too long ago. The first time it passed and we had term limits. But the President brought it up again  (he said it was a poor vote. One that he controlled) and this time it did not pass.  So as of today we do not have term limits. We need them. 

Vote for, I say FOR, term limits!!

  1. The problem is that this man perseverates and constantly is scheming how to get his way. It matters not what the topic is - term limits, Wi Fi with DSL, blasting DSL and proposing broadband - it simply does not matter. He is a narcissist, a fascist, who only thinks of himself and his self aggrandizement. The man has to go. That is the crux of the matter.

  2. Esther, I agree with both you and Gary. This man has to go and all of his cronies. We definately need "TERM LIMITES NOW" and I think this is what other people here in the village are looking for.. This "MAN" has to go go go. Enough. Folks when a motion does come up let's all vote for Term Limites. NO FORTH TERM.
