Sen. Ted Cruz, who plans a run for a 3rd term, files bill to limit senators to two terms

Texas Republican Ted Cruz is reintroducing a bill to limit senators from serving more than two six-year terms, even as he plans a run for his third.

The bill is a constitutional amendment that would prevent U.S. senators from serving more than 12 years.

It would also prevent those in the U.S. House from serving more than three two-year terms.

Terms served by members prior to the bill’s enactment would not count toward the proposed term limitations, which means that if the bill were to be passed by this Congress, Cruz would not be term limited until 2036.
