Time for a 28th Amendment

Yup. Da rich has always run things an always will - unless we fix it...

My two cents? Please do not convene a Constitutional Congress, because they would more than likely talk themselves to death, and we'd LOSE more rights than we GAIN!

You gotta be joking. Convene a Constitutional Congress with liberals, socialists, and commies in charge. I dont think so. That would be the absolute worst thing any moron could do right now.

OMG NO.... A limit of 8 years TOTAL at any one level! The 30 years would be a max allowable UNLESS they hit the mandatory retirement age first...

Through school one of the interesting discussions involved the 2 houses and the intent of the founders. What I recall was that the Senate was seen as the 'statesmen' while the House was seen as both a balance of the Senate and for the 'non-statesman' pols.

Anyway, I'll leave it at that unless we get onto the topic of mandatory government service for all able-bodied/able-minded US residents between the ages of 18-28 (whether its the military, [new]CCC, peace-corps or other organization).

Back to writing code to meet a deadline....
