This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment authorizing Congress, by law, to limit the number of terms that Representatives and Senators may serve.
AI Summary
This Joint Resolution proposes an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would grant Congress the authority to establish laws limiting the number of terms that Representatives and Senators can serve. Currently, there are no federal term limits for members of Congress, meaning they can be re-elected indefinitely. This resolution, if passed by two-thirds of both the House and Senate and then ratified by three-fourths of the states, would allow Congress to decide on and implement such limits.
