Top 5 Promises Donald Trump Hopefully Keeps as President

3. Term Limits

One of Trump’s last campaign strategies was to “drain the swamp” in Washington, D.C., eliminating unnecessary bureacuracy and career politicians. This included his embrace of Congressional term limits, which have long been a talking point for conservatives and libertarians. The most recent push was in the early 1990s, when eight states voted to approve term limits for their members of Congress. However, the Supreme Court ruled in 1995 that states did not have this power and that therefore, these initiatives were invalid. When Newt Gingrich led the Republicans to become the House majority in 1995, his “Contract with America” included term limits as well. A Constitutional Amendment was proposed, but it got only a bare majority (227-204), rather than the necessary two-thirds supermajority of 290 votes.
