[QUOTE="VanC, post: 937349, member: 3355"] I believe the case you're referring to arose when some states attempted to limit the terms of their US Congessmen and Senators. The Supreme Court struck those laws down, stating that laws enacted by states cannot supercede the US Constitution. Term limits for the US Congress could still happen, but it would take a constitutional amendment, as it did for limiting the president's terms. There are two ways to amend the Constitution. The only one that's been used so far is a 2/3 vote by both the House and Senate followed by ratification by 3/4 of the state legislatures. Doubtful that will ever happen. The other way is a Constitutional Convention called by 2/3 of the state's legislatures, again followed by ratification by 3/4 of the states. I'm guessing that's our only hope, and even that will be an uphill battle. [/QUOTE]
