Joe Biden and the Case for Term Limits

President Trump is proposing term limits and our cadre of career politicians are getting their collective undies in a bunch. The self-important people that go to Washington to represent the folks back home, and then end up representing other self-important people in Washington, think term limits are unfair – except as applied to Donald Trump of course. They insist that their experience in office is invaluable to their constituents. Heck the longer they’re in office the better they are at it. At least that’s the rationale.

I even had a friend claim that term limits are undemocratic. “Why, shouldn’t I be able to vote on anyone I want?” he asked.

My counter-argument was, “Joseph Robinette Biden.”

Scranton Joe is a case study in what can go wrong when a political career becomes and entitlement instead of a public service. He was sworn in as the junior Senator from Delaware in 1973. He occupied that seat (I avoided the word “servicer” on purpose), until Barack Obama made him his Vice President, 36 years later.

If President Trump’s proposed term limits been the law of the land in the 1970s, Joe Biden would have left office in 1985 – the same year President Reagan began his second term. Had Biden boarded the train back to Delaware after the Gipper’s inauguration, America might look very different now.

Robert Bork would have probably been confirmed as a Supreme Court Justice in 1987, and we would have been spared testimony about “pubic hair” at Clarence Thomas’ confirmation. Character assassination of Presidential appointees may have never become “a thing.”

Joe’s 1988 bid for the Presidency would have likely been a quick “one and done.” After exposure of his college plagiarism practices – and without a senate from which to ride out the storm – Joe would have shuffled off into obscurity and been forgotten by the next election cycle.

In 1993, Tara Reade would have never been sexually assaulted in a Capital cloak room, by a Senator who had left office 8 years previously.

Curtis C. Dunn died in 1999, a broken man because of Biden’s slanders against him. In 1972 Joe’s first wife, Neilia, ran a stop and was struck by a truck driven by Dunn. Neilia and daughter Naomi were killed. Even though investigators found no alcohol in Dunn’s system, and determined that Neilia was at fault, Joe continued to use the death of his loved ones as a political prop – claiming they were killed by a trucker who “drank his lunch” – right up to his reelection bid in 2024. Dunn spent 27 years trying to convince the public that he wasn’t the drunken killer that Senator/VP/President Biden claimed he was.

Had Senator Biden been term limited in 1985, he would have never been selected as Barack Obama’s Vice President.

His female Secret Service detail would have been spared from guarding him while he skinny dipped.

Hunter Biden would have never been in business with the Russians, Chinese, and Ukrainians. The Biden family would have never collected more than 25 million dollars from foreign countries, in exchange for influence over U.S policy.

Hunter Biden would have probably spent his 40s in rehab, rather than doing “blow” with hookers in a Malibu beach house. We would have been spared the pornographic images on his “laptop from hell,” which become public record when it was used to prosecute his tax evasion.

After the Obama Presidency, Joe got a 4-year vacation at his beach home purchased with Chinese cash. But before he faded from politics, Barack Obama and Jim Clyburn called him back into politics. With their help, He fulfilled his lifelong dream of becoming President. From the Oval Office, Joe then demonstrated to America how much damage one man could do with Article II powers. He proceeded to fulfill Obama’s dream to “fundamentally change America” into a banana republic.

Had Senator Biden been term limited in 1985, President Biden would have never surrendered in Afghanistan in 2021 – leaving hundreds of Americans, and over $7 billion worth of military equipment behind. We wouldn’t be watching terrorists today, driving armed vehicles around the middle east, which were purchased with our tax dollars.

Biden wouldn’t have signed off on an inflation triggering $5 trillion of federal spending for “Build Back Better,” “Inflation Reduction,” student loan forgiveness, and a mountain of garden variety waste, fraud, and abuse.

Merrick Garland would have never been appointed as the Attorney General with a mission to weaponize the Department of Justice against Joe’s political opponents. A former President’s home would not have been raided. The FBI wouldn’t have tampered with evidence to influence an election. Political protesters wouldn’t have been arrested as a caution against opposition.

The Intelligence Community in Joe’s executive branch would probably have never tagged Catholics, concerned parents, and prolife protesters as domestic threats.

The FBI probably wouldn’t have used legal intimidation to coerce social media companies into censoring free speech, again, to influence an election.

Schools wouldn’t have been encouraged by the federal government to groom children for gender dysphoria or racial hatred.

Without Joe in the oval office, it’s unlikely that we would have had two male drag queens in appointed office – one stealing women’s clothing at airports, and the other a pediatrician providing advice on child rearing.

Without Joe Biden signing anything placed in front of him, there would have never been pardons and commutations for thousands of criminals.

In total, Joe Biden spent 48 years on the taxpayer payroll, running on his experience, but serving only himself. It’s really quite incredible the damage a corrupt politician can do, when they’re allowed to turn the federal government into their personal plaything.

That’s why Donald Trump wants term limits for elected officials – because the power in Washington is seductive. Far too many politicians succumb to the temptations and eventually profit at their constituent’s expense. But Congressional terms are stipulated in the Constitution. An Amendment is needed to impose term limits

Unfortunately, too many of our Representatives and Senators are of the Biden variety. They will never propose an Amendment which will limit their time in the Washington playground, where money is free and accountability is nonexistent.

Fortunately, there are two ways to amend the Constitution; Congressional action being only one of them. The second clause of Article V gives states the power to band together and launch a convention to draft amendments; without the consent of Congress. President Trump should consider the convention of states option in his plans to overhaul Washington.
