Beto O’Rourke calls for a constitutional amendment imposing term limits on Supreme Court justices and members of Congress
Beto O’Rourke on Wednesday called for a constitutional amendment imposing term limits on Supreme Court justices and members of Congress, part of a sweeping series of electoral and government reforms the Texas Democrat pledged to pursue if elected president.
O’Rourke has long emphasized electoral reform issues, both while in Congress and in his presidential campaign. He has said for months that, if elected, he would sign a new voting rights act, work to end gerrymandering, and institute nationwide, automatic same-day voter registration. The plan he unveiled on Wednesday added heft to that rhetoric, as presidential contenders continue to release policy proposals early in the 2020 campaign.
