Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to require that the Supreme Court of the United States be composed of nine justices.

House Joint Resolution 8 proposes an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would permanently set the number of Supreme Court justices at nine. Currently, the Constitution does not specify the size of the Court, leaving it to Congress to determine the number of justices through federal law. If passed by two-thirds of both chambers of Congress and ratified by three-fourths of the states, this measure would prevent future sessions of Congress from increasing or decreasing the size of the Court without passing another constitutional amendment.
