were first suggested, the initial reaction to any term
limits was ridicule because such legislation would
never be enacted. The entrenched State legislators
vehemently opposed any type of term limits.
George Will of the Washington Post, made this
observation:
“If the political class fought the nation's problems as
tenaciously as it fights term limits, America would be
paradise by next Tuesday.”
However, the more the concept was talked about by
the average citizen, the more it became acceptable.
Finally, in 1990, California voters approved
Proposition 140, a state Constitutional Amendment
imposing term limits on state politicians. Similar laws
were quickly enacted in 20 other states.
That experience of so many states enacting term
limits, now gives encouragement and determination to
advocate the single six-year term for the President.
