Now that he's president, Donald Trump's promise to enact congressional term limits is getting a modicum of support in the House, but it faces a firm roadblock in the Senate -- not to mention an arduous path through the nation's state legislatures if it somehow clears both hurdles on Capitol Hill.

As we have noted, enacting term limits can only be done through a constitutional amendment. That's an arduous process that has only been achieved 27 times in the nation's history.

There's a sliver of good news for Trump in the House, where eight bills to impose term limits have been introduced by a variety of Republican lawmakers.

In addition, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, has introduced a similar bill in the Senate, where it has secured co-sponsorship by 10 of his colleagues.

However, in his post-election press conference in November, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., was asked if the Senate would consider legislation to limit terms.

McConnell responded, "I would say we have term limits now. They're called elections. And it will not be on the agenda in the Senate."

Since McConnell essentially has the authority to determine what business the Senate takes up, his opposition is an almost insurmountable obstacle. We rate this promise Stalled.
