Moore on term limits and the veto power

Both are great ideas, in my opinion, especially term limits for legislators. That idea is one that Gov. Riley has also supported, but it is one that is going nowhere fast. Legislative term limits would require a constitutional amendment - subject to the approval of 3/5 of the members in both the House and Senate - and that's just not going to happen with the current makeup of the legislature. On this issue, the Governor is virtually powerless.

Ditto on Moore's call for stronger gubernatorial veto powers. In Alabama, the Governor's veto can be overridden by a simple majority vote in both houses. Gov. Riley has proposed a constitutional amendment to require a 2/3 vote, but it is very difficult to convince legislators to give up power, even if it would serve the public good.
