I say this because I have heard a number of Members of the House who have been here for 20 years who say they are for term limits, and we have at least one senior Member of this body who has been for term limits literally before I was born but is still here. Would the Senator from Missouri support my amendment to make term limits effective immediately, that is, at the end of whatever term you are in? If you fit the bill you are out?”
