Former State Department spokesperson Marie Harf and the ‘Fox News Sunday’ panel discuss COVID vaccine funding and health concerns over older government leaders.

Term limits have been discussed for decades among voters and elected officials, leading many to question whether the possibility of such a change to the American political landscape could ever reach fruition.

A September 2023 poll found that a majority of adults, 87%, favor limits on the number of terms each member of Congress is allowed to serve.

The Pew Research Center study also found that term limits are almost equally popular among both Republicans and Democrats. Among those who were surveyed, 90% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents said they supported them. Democrats and Democrat-leaning voters largely agreed, with 86% giving the nod to limits on how long a lawmaker can serve in either body of Congress.

She’s a firecracker. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is pushing to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) for her outrageous speech to her supporters in downtown Minneapolis on January 27, where she essentially said that her true allegiance is to Somalia and blocking the recognition of Somaliland, which is trying to break away. Omar’s speech was met with intense criticism for its misplaced priorities, though the liberal media is protecting her, saying that Republicans are pouncing on misquotes from her speech (via The Hill): 

 

"Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) moved to force a vote on censuring Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) on Thursday over a disputed translation of comments the Minnesota Democrat made about Somalia and Somaliland, accusing her of being a “foreign agent.” 

Greene called her censure legislation to the floor as a privileged resolution, a procedural gambit that forces leadership to hold a vote within two legislative days. Leadership can either bring the resolution to the floor for a vote or motion to table it, both of which would require majority support. Read more, see Xs and videos here.
