Bill > HR1074

This bill establishes a new system for Supreme Court Justice appointments and term limits, fundamentally changing how the highest court in the United States is staffed. Under the proposed legislation, the President would nominate one new Supreme Court Justice during the first and third years following a presidential election, with each Justice serving a maximum of 18 years before being considered "retired from regular active service." The bill creates a mechanism where the Supreme Court would always consist of the nine most junior Justices, with Justices who have served 18 years becoming "Senior Justices" who can be called upon to fill temporary vacancies if needed. Additionally, the bill includes a provision that if the Senate does not act on a Supreme Court nomination within 120 days, they are deemed to have waived their advice and consent authority, effectively allowing the nominee to be seated automatically. Existing Justices who were appointed before the bill's enactment would be exempt from these new term limit and retirement rules. The goal of this legislation appears to be creating more predictable and regular Supreme Court appointments while preventing lifelong tenure on the court.
