Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s proposal to impose congressional term limits is unlikely to attract many allies in a Congress where he already has few. But there are still a few dozen Republicans he could likely count on to back the idea.Congressional term limits can only be imposed through the adoption of a constitutional amendment. Nine Republican members of Congress have introduced several resolutions calling for such an amendment, collectively garnering a few dozen GOP co-sponsors.A proposal would need to pass the House and Senate with a two-thirds majority and be ratified by three-fourths of the states to be adopted.The following are term limits proposals that have been introduced in the 114th Congress: 12-year limit (six terms) for representatives; 12-year limit (two terms) for senators H.J.
