Bill Summary
JOINT RESOLUTION Proposing amendments to the Constitution of the United States relative to the line item veto, a limitation on the number of terms that a Member of Congress may serve, and requiring a vote of two-thirds of the membership of both Houses of Congress on any legislation raising or imposing new taxes or fees. 1.
AI Summary
This Joint Resolution proposes three amendments to the U.S. Constitution: first, it would grant the President the power of a "line item veto," allowing them to reject specific spending items within a bill without vetoing the entire bill; second, it would limit the number of terms a Member of Congress can serve, setting a maximum of six terms for Representatives and two terms for Senators, with specific rules for filling vacancies; and third, it would require a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate to pass any legislation that raises or imposes new taxes or fees, a measure designed to make tax increases more difficult to enact.
