If the president controls all in his or her party and the party controls both houses of congress as well as the supreme court it can be done.

A 2/3 majority vote is required in both houses of Congress to amend the Constitution, so merely controlling the Senate and House isn't enough.

@roaminglion  it’s almost impossible to get done unless both sides are for getting it done. I’m all for term limits but only going forward not because democrats aren’t getting their way lately. These justices have life but going forward get it done I’m for it. I’d say the same thing if it was republicans whining about it I call ‘em a bunch of whiners all the time. Can’t change the rules because you don’t get your way now.

@roaminglion Thanks for the info. Would you mind opening a civics class topic in the water cooler? it's been waaay too long since the last civics class I took in junior high school. So long that the junior high school I went to is now part of Hershey corporate headquarters.

Supreme Court Justices aren't elected.

Same, maybe even an age limit that they have to retire at 70
