No co-sponsors. That bill will wind up nowhere except the shredder.

It's political grandstanding. Nothing more. Charlie Rangel did the same thing with his "bring back the draft!" bullshit.

Never going to see the light of day,Thank God. There is a reason its there in the first damn place. It was origanally meant to keep people from gainaing to much power but now days it seems like the right thing to do just for the sheer drain it takes on a person to deal with 8 years of Bullshit

No problem.  Just replace it with:

Article. [XXVII.]

No person shall serve more than a combined 12 year total as an elected official at the Federal level.
