Fair. Term limits and no CU then
Overturning CU and going to public financing of Federal elections (POTUS, Senate, HoR) would be a dream from my perspective, but I think that's a pipe dream for a lot of us.

Terms limits are a bad idea outside of whether or not CU exists. Term limits simply mean that the party leaders and political strategists will be the real leaders of our country rather than those whom we elect.
 

Bullshit. It's perfectly in accord with the Constitution, given that it very clearly gives Congress the sole authority to declare war. It was passed near the end of the Vietnam War and its purpose was to restore proper war-making power to Congress from the Executive Branch. Nixon vetoed it but his veto was overridden by Congress. Vance is trying to argue that black is white here.

One term on the Town/City Council, 1-2 terms on the County Commission, 1-2 terms in the State House, 1-2 terms in the State Senate, a term in Congress, two terms as AG, two terms in the US Senate.

That’s at least 32 years in North Carolina.

How do you prevent such a career politician? If you prevent such a career politician, what do you do with the career lobbyists?

The guillotine!
 


The agreement with Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay represents a push for deeper global cooperation, in contrast to the United States turning to coercion in its dealings with other countries.
