Bill > SJRes2

This Joint Resolution proposes an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to limit the number of terms that members of Congress can serve. Specifically, it states that a Representative can serve a maximum of three terms in the House of Representatives, and a Senator can serve a maximum of two terms in the Senate. The resolution clarifies that serving more than a year to fill a vacancy in the House counts as a full term, and serving more than three years to fill a vacancy in the Senate also counts as a full term. Importantly, any terms served before this amendment is ratified by three-fourths of the states within seven years will not count towards these new limits. This proposal aims to address concerns about career politicians and encourage new perspectives in Congress.
