Bill > HJRes60

This Joint Resolution proposes an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to limit the number of consecutive terms that members of Congress can serve. Specifically, it states that a Senator cannot serve more than two consecutive terms and a Representative cannot serve more than six consecutive terms. The resolution clarifies that terms served to fill a vacancy will not count towards these limits unless the vacancy period is longer than three years for a Senator or one year for a Representative. Additionally, any term that began before the amendment is ratified will not be counted towards these consecutive term limits. This proposal aims to address concerns about career politicians and encourage fresh perspectives in Congress.
