Hagel: ‘Twelve Years in Congress Is Enough for Anyone’

ABC News’ Teddy Davis Reports: As Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., prepares to discuss his future plans on Monday, it’s worth remembering that he issued an Oct. 23, 1995 document in his initial Senate bid which said: "I support term limits. However, I will not need term limits. Twelve years in Congress is enough for anyone."

Hagel’s political team has long described the Nebraska Republican as having three options: running for president, running for re-election, or leaving elective politics altogether. Based on his 1995 statement, Hagel shouldn’t really be able to run for re-election, if taken at his word.

A political adviser to Hagel refused to comment and his Senate office has not yet responded.
