[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 3072120, member: 13624"] Moreover, [I]U.S. Term Limits[/I] (preventing [I]states[/I] from adding additional qualifications for office) was an extension of a 1969 case preventing even [I]Congress[/I] from imposing further restrictions. [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powell_v._McCormack'][I]Powell v. McCormack[/I], 395 U.S. 486 (1969)[/URL] [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Term_Limits,_Inc._v._Thornton'][I]U.S. Term Limits, Inc. v. Thornton[/I], 514 U.S. 779 (1995)[/URL] I wouldn't expect future courts to overrule those two precedents; I just can't see any basis in the Constitution for finding them incorrect, particularly given that we've seen term limits enacted by amendment in the past (Amendment XXII, limiting the president to two terms).
