Bill Summary
JOINT RESOLUTION Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to require that the Supreme Court of the United States be composed of nine justices.
AI Summary
This Joint Resolution proposes an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would establish a fixed number of nine justices for the Supreme Court of the United States, the nation's highest court. This means that Congress would no longer have the power to change the number of justices on the Court, which has historically fluctuated. The resolution outlines the formal process for amending the Constitution, requiring approval by two-thirds of both the Senate and the House of Representatives, followed by ratification by three-fourths of the state legislatures within seven years.
