Bill > HJRes9

This Joint Resolution proposes an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to establish term limits for members of Congress, meaning it would change the fundamental law of the country. Specifically, it would prevent anyone from serving more than four terms in the House of Representatives and more than two terms in the Senate. The resolution clarifies that any time spent serving to fill a vacancy, rather than a full elected term, would not count towards these limits, and terms served before the amendment is ratified would also not be counted. This proposal aims to address concerns about career politicians and promote a more representative government by encouraging new individuals to serve in Congress.
