Bill Summary

JOINT RESOLUTION Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to limit the number of terms that a Member of Congress may serve..

AI Summary

This Joint Resolution proposes an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to limit the number of terms individuals can serve in Congress. Specifically, it states that a person who has served three terms as a Representative in the House of Representatives would be ineligible to be elected again to that chamber, with a partial term filling a vacancy counting as a full term if it lasts more than one year. Similarly, a person who has served two terms as a Senator would be ineligible for election or appointment to the Senate, with a partial term filling a vacancy counting as a full term if it lasts more than three years. Importantly, any terms served before this amendment is ratified would not count towards these limits.
