Toomey signed on to the term limits proposal and, to his credit, bowed out of the House after three terms and is not running for a third term in the Senate in 2022.) The fact remains: Republicans can’t quit term limits. Never mind that Republicans were well positioned in those midterm elections before the contract was released in late September 1994 the subsequent Citizen Legislature Act in 1995 didn’t get enough votes to go anywhere (in part because 40 Republicans voted against it), and many GOP members later violated their own term-limit pledges (no need to mention George Nethercutt by name).

Six GOP senators including Marco Rubio of Florida, Ted Cruz of Texas and Rick Scott of Florida are the latest to propose limiting the number of terms members can serve in Congress. ![]() But it’s not stopping ambitious Republicans from rolling it out once again.
