Reformers during the early 1990s used referendums to put congressional term limits on the ballot in 24 states.
Voters in eight of these states approved the congressional term limits by an average electoral margin of two to one. In the elections of 1994, part of the Republican platform was to pass legislation setting term limits in Congress. After winning the majority, they brought the constitutional amendment to the House floor. The amendment limited members of the Senate to two six-year terms and members of the House to six two-year terms. However, constitutional amendments require a two-thirds majority and the votes to impose term limits on Congress fell short of that number.
Looks like 33 of 50 States will be needed. I'll begin researching.
We have to make it happen as DJT continues on his Crusade to Make America Great...... Again
President Trump sent a letter to Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on Thursday announcing his intention to cut pay raises for civilian government workers.
In the letter, Trump cited his authority in times of "national emergency or serious economic conditions affecting the general welfare" to make adjustments to the 2018 pay schedule for federal employees.
"A pay increase of this magnitude is not warranted, and Federal agency budgets could not accommodate such an increase while still maintaining support for key Federal priorities such as those that advance the safety and security of the American people, Trump said"
"I strongly support our men and women in uniform, who are the greatest fighting force in the world and the guardians of American freedom," Trump wrote. "As our country continues to recover from serious economic conditions affecting the general welfare, we must work to rebuild our military's readiness and capabilities."
Trump will maintain the 2.1 percent pay increase for members of the military.

Finding it interesting how voters gave Trump the White House and supported him now are needed to move his agenda are not helping him along.... This is an Idea on how we may be able to change the direction many complain of? Other ideas I think have all failed This I think could get more support than in 1994.
I found out a bit more..... 5% of population signatures is needed for it to be voted for it to be on the ballot (Term Limits) It does vary by the size of a city.

Just a friendly reminder that Trump only got about 1 in every 4 votes from eligible voters. Don't forget that when most people don't agree with or support anything he tries to pass.

Time for next generation to step in and try to beat the system. Won't be surprised to see the same topics and arguments in another 50 years just as........
The 1970s were a tumultuous time. In some ways, the decade was a continuation of the 1960s. Women, African Americans, Native Americans, gays and lesbians and other marginalized people continued their fight for equality, and many Americans joined the protest against the ongoing war in Vietnam. In other ways, however, the decade was a repudiation of the 1960s. A “New Right” mobilized in defense of political conservatism and traditional family roles, and the behavior of President Richard Nixon undermined many people’s faith in the good intentions of the federal government. By the end of the decade, these divisions and disappointments had set a tone for public life that many would argue is still with us today.
