Bill Summary
Providing for the consideration of the joint resolution (H. J. Res. 12) 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 resolution provides for the immediate consideration of House Joint Resolution 12, which proposes a constitutional amendment to limit congressional terms, bypassing typical procedural hurdles. The resolution allows for one hour of debate, with time equally divided between the chair and ranking minority member of the Judiciary Committee or their designees. Additionally, it waives a specific parliamentary rule (Clause 1(c) of rule XIX) that would otherwise apply to the consideration of this joint resolution. The key purpose is to expedite the process of considering a potential constitutional amendment that would restrict the number of terms a member of Congress can serve, effectively addressing concerns about career politicians and legislative turnover.
