Texas Senator Ted Cruz has introduced new legislation that would impose a two-term limit in Congress, but can’t quite explain why he’s currently running for a third term in the Senate.
If passed, the bill would limit senators to two six-year terms and members of the US House of Representatives to three two-year terms “after the date of its enactment.” In a statement announcing the move, Mr Cruz said that the Founding Fathers had envisioned a government of 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.”
