Hmmm. I know Ron has some differences on this. Does anybody know exactly what it is?

Ron sponsored the first term limit legislation in modern history and voted for every one since. After once term limiting himself by running for Senate (which he lost) rather than for his incumbant seat, and seeing the worst of the worst stay and gain power over newcomers, he decided he wasn't for VOLUNTARY term limits, they have to apply to everyone. That is Rand's position, as well. I expect Ron to vote for this, actually. I don't know if he intended a Constitutional amendment though. I wish it were just legislation. I don't like this much playing with the Constitution if it isn't necessary. And I DON'T want the constitutional convention Koch funded Cato is pushing for.
