Bill Summary
JOINT RESOLUTION Proposing amendments to the Constitution of the United States relative to the line item veto, a limitation on the number of terms that a Member of Congress may serve, and requiring a vote of two-thirds of the membership of both Houses of Congress on any legislation raising or imposing new taxes or fees.
AI Summary
This Joint Resolution proposes three amendments to the U.S. Constitution: first, it grants the President the power of a "line item veto," allowing them to reject specific appropriations within a bill without vetoing the entire bill, with Congress having the ability to override such rejections with a vote similar to a regular veto override; second, it establishes term limits for members of Congress, restricting Representatives to six terms and Senators to two terms, with specific rules for how partial terms count towards these limits, and importantly, it clarifies that any terms served before this amendment is ratified will not count; and third, it requires a supermajority vote of two-thirds of both the House of Representatives and the Senate to pass any legislation that either imposes new taxes or fees, or raises existing ones, meaning such legislation must have broad bipartisan support to become law.
