Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to limit the number of terms that a Member of Congress may serve.
Summary
This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would establish formal term limits for members of Congress. Under this proposal, members of the House of Representatives would be limited to serving a total of three terms (six years), and members of the Senate would be limited to two terms (twelve years).
If ratified, these limits would only apply to terms beginning after the amendment becomes law, meaning current members would not have their previous years of service counted toward the new limit. For citizens, this would result in a mandatory rotation of federal representation, ensuring that no individual could serve as a career legislator beyond the specified timeframes.
