Idea of the Week: New 28th and 29th Amendments to the Constitution: Term Limits and Public Financing of Political Campaigns

Proposed Twenty-Eighth Amendment:

Term Limits: No Senator or Representative will serve longer than twelve years in office or fourteen if they have replaced an earlier office holder. The President will be allowed to run for a third term but can serve no longer than twelve years or fourteen if succeeding a predecessor at least half way through their term. Federal Judges, including the Supreme Court, will be appointed for a twelve-year term and can not be reappointed if confirmed for the single twelve-year term. If they are nominated for a replacement appointment, they will be allowed to only serve out the remainder of the term they have been chosen for.

Proposed Twenty-Ninth Amendment:

Public Financing of Political Campaigns: All federal campaigns will be publicly financed. Office seekers in primary elections will be given a legally determined allotment if they are able to secure a minimum number of agreed upon valid petition signatures.
