Twelfth Candidate in PA U.S. Senate Race Supports Term Limits on Congress
Washington D.C. – U.S. Term Limits (USTL), the leader in the non-partisan national movement to limit terms for elected officials, praises 2022 U.S. Senate candidate for Pennsylvania, Dave McCormick, for signing the pledge for an amendment to term limit Congress. Previously, candidates Kathy Barnette, Mehmet Oz, Sean Parnell, Martin Rosenfeld, Carla Sands, Alexandria Khalil, Sean Gale, Kevin Baumlin, John DeBellis, Jeff Bartos and Larry E. Johnson also signed the pledge.
U.S. Term Limits has the support of more than 90 pledge signers in Congress. USTL President Philip Blumel commented on their pledges saying, “This overwhelming support of term limits shows that there are individuals who are willing to put self-interest aside to follow the will of the people. America needs a Congress that will be served by citizen legislators, not career politicians.”
The U.S. Term Limits amendment pledge is provided to every announced candidate for federal office. It reads, “I pledge that as a member of Congress, I will cosponsor and vote for the U.S. Term Limits amendment of three (3) House terms and two (2) Senate terms and no longer limit.” The U.S. Term Limits constitutional amendment has been introduced in both the U.S. Senate by Senator Ted Cruz and his colleagues (SJR3) and the U.S. House by Representative Ralph Norman (HJR12).
“Our founding fathers never envisioned a professional class of politicians. I am glad these candidates agree. They are committed to implementing term limits on Congress,” says John Eichelberger, state co-chair for U.S. Term Limits.
According to the latest nationwide poll on term limits conducted by RMG Research, term limits enjoy wide bipartisan support. Scott Rasmussen’s analysis states, “Support for term limits is broad and strong across all political, geographic and demographic groups. An overwhelming 82% of voters approve of a constitutional amendment that will place term limits on members of Congress.”
Blumel noted, “America is in trouble. Our career politicians have let the people down. It is time to return control of our nation to the people. It is time for a constitutional amendment limiting congressional terms.”
The term limits amendment resolutions would require a two-thirds majority in the House and Senate, and ratification by 38 states, in order to become part of the U.S. Constitution.
