Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to limit the number of terms that a Member of Congress may serve.
Summary
House Joint Resolution 69 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 eight terms (16 years), while members of the U.S. Senate would be limited to three terms (18 years). If passed and ratified, these limits would only apply to individuals elected after the amendment becomes law, meaning current members of Congress would be allowed to complete their ongoing terms without those years counting toward the new limit.
