Dr. Prasanth Reddy Pledges to Support 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 2024 U.S. House candidate for Kansas, Dr. Prasanth Reddy (district 3), for signing the pledge for an amendment to term limit Congress. Reddy is the first signer in this race.
U.S. Term Limits has the support of more than 130 pledge signers in Congress. USTL President Philip Blumel commented on Dr. Reddy’s pledge saying, “Prasanth’s strong 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 (SJR2) and the U.S. House by Representative Ralph Norman (HJR11).
Blumel noted, “We have seen a dramatic increase in supporters wanting term limits on Congress. More than 80% of Americans have rejected the career politician model and want to replace it with citizen leadership. The way to achieve that goal is through congressional term limits.”
According to the latest nationwide poll on term limits conducted by McLaughlin and Associates, term limits enjoy wide bipartisan support. McLaughlin’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.”
“It is time to restore our founding fathers vision of a citizen legislature. I am glad that Dr. Reddy recognizes the importance of returning Congress to a true representative body. He will be part of the solution of curing the stranglehold of career politicians we have in DC,” said Sara Hart Weir, USTL state chair for Kansas.
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.
