Lee Drutman wrote for Vox about Donald Trump's proposed congressional term limits:

Donald Trump's latest gambit is a new set of "ethics" reforms, organized around that evergreen slogan: "It's Time to Drain the Swamp in Washington, DC."

Trump's reforms are mostly boilerplate, revolving-door proposals that would almost certainly do nothing to change how anything works in Washington.

The most eye-catching idea is that he wants term limits for members of Congress.
