It rejects state and federal efforts to add term limits and notes the Qualifications Clause sets minimum standards for Congress. Absent a constitutional amendment, supporters must pursue a nationwide change.

Fatherhood Crisis Critique Echoes Through Policy Debates
Walter Charen argues that the push to strengthen father involvement risks ignoring the need to reinforce the traditional married family. He notes Frontline's data on single parenting, criticizes liberal framing for avoiding marriage language, and assesses Ford and Casey Foundation efforts as insufficient without accompanying cultural change. He warns that policies focusing on noncustodial fathers resemble Band-Aids for a jugular wound.
