Bill Summary
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to limit the number of terms that a Member of Congress may serve. This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment limiting Members of the House of Representatives to three terms and Members of the Senate to two terms. Terms beginning before the ratification of this article do not count towards term limits.
AI Summary
This Joint Resolution proposes an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to limit the number of terms Members of Congress can serve, meaning elected officials in the House of Representatives would be limited to three terms and Senators to two terms. Importantly, any terms served before this amendment is ratified by three-fourths of the states would not count towards these new limits, and serving more than a year in a House vacancy or more than three years in a Senate vacancy would count as a full term.
