The solutions are easy. Having the guts to do what you know you must do is hard. These clowns in Washington are for the most part totally gutless.

I agree; although term limits may help with that.

Fo Shizzle.

I still don't understand how it is legal for the legislative branch to put term limits on the executive branch.

The executive branch term limits are in the constitution, which takes a bit more than just the legislative branch passing a law. Prior to the 22nd Amendment presidents had just traditionally only served for 2 terms since that's all that Washington served for, until FDR got elected 4 times.

It'd probably take another constitutional amendment to term limit the legislative branch.
