AI Summary

This Joint Resolution proposes an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to limit the number of terms Members of Congress can serve. Specifically, it would prevent anyone from being elected to the House of Representatives after serving three terms, with a partial term filling a vacancy counting as a full term if it lasts more than one year. Similarly, it would prohibit individuals from being elected or appointed to the Senate after serving two terms, 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.
