On March 29, 1995 the Contract with America suffered its only big setback in the U.S. House of Representatives. The term limits amendment to the Constitution went down to defeat, with 227 'yes' votes to 204 'no' votes.

According to the polls, 80 percent of Americans want term limits. And what was the breakdown of the vote? Over 80 percent of Republicans (82 %) voted for term limits. But, 82 percent of Democrats voted against term limits.

By trying to undermine the will of the American people, Democrats are, in fact, undermining their own political future.
