Trump Proposes Term Limits for Congress

Donald Trump promised to "drain the swamp" in Washington, D.C., pledging to reduce corruption by stopping the revolving door between the government and the lobbying firms that buy influence and pressing for the passage of a constitutional amendment that would institute term limits for Congress.




The GOP nominee announced his support for federal term limits in Colorado Springs, Colorado, on Tuesday, a day after proposing a five-point ethics reform package that would bar executive branch officials, members of Congress and their staff members from immediately taking lucrative K Street jobs.
"Decades of failure in Washington, and decades of special interest dealing, must come to an end," Trump told an approving crowd. "We have to break the cycle of corruption, and we have to give new voices a chance to go into government service."
