Dick,
Don't lose your beauty sleep over this one. It will pass when pigs can fly and Peter Pan grows a beard.
Frankly, I have opposed the term limit just as strongly as I oppose super majority votes. A majority vote ensures that the will of the majority will be carried out. A two-thirds, or super majority vote, allows minority rule.
Back on the term limits. We are silly ducks if we think that this foolishness is protecting our democracy. We need some major overhaul of our House of Cards in order to protect what liberty and democracy we still have.
We can start by removing corporate citizenship, and placing tight controls on the functions of each corporation. This would include an expiration date, that must be renewed after a thorough review.
We might consider removing the archaic Electoral College.
A reform of the congressional redistricting might make elections fairer. And opening the elections to political parties other than the Two-Headed Party currently hogging all elections.
Just some rambling thoughts.
