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 that would limit the number of terms individuals can serve in Congress. Specifically, it states that a person would be ineligible to be 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, a person would be ineligible to be 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. This proposal requires approval by two-thirds of both the House and Senate and then ratification by three-fourths of the states within seven years to become part of the Constitution.
