Roy targets Washington’s ‘entrenchment’ with no-pay term limit bill
Term limits have always been an issue members walk on eggshells around in the halls of Congress; however, once your term has an expiration date, it might be easier to give one to others.
Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, who chose not to run for reelection to Congress, lost the GOP primary for attorney general. His job now has an inevitable “term limit,” but that isn’t stopping him from legislating.
The Daily Signal has learned Roy is set to introduce a bill meant to limit terms in Congress to only six in the House and two in the Senate without limiting voter choice.
The catch is: They can stay if they want; they just become volunteers.
“For too long, Washington has rewarded longevity with greater power, higher pay, and deeper entrenchment,” Roy told the Daily Signal.
