JEFFERSON TO MADISON NOTE

[Note 1: Prior to both becoming a U.S. President, James Madison sent Thomas Jefferson a copy of Madison's 1st draft of what he had written as the U.S. Constitution.]


[Note 2: Jefferson responded by asking Madison to add two items:


   a) a Bill of Rights for U.S. Citizens, and
   
   b) Term Limits of 2 terms for:

  •          the U.S. President (4-year term)
  •          each U.S. Senator (6-year term)
  •          each U.S. House Representative (2-year term), and
  •          each Supreme Court Justice (Term to be determined).]

 

[Note 3: James Madison then wrote the Bill of Rights --- the first 10 Amendments] --- {Term limits were not addressed.}

 

[Note 4: See Amendment 22 (1951) --- "Term Limits for the Presidency".] {Why not Term Limits for U.S. Senators, U.S House of Representatives & Supreme Court Justices?}
