A joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States relative to limiting the number of terms that a Member of Congress may serve.

This legislation proposes an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would establish strict limits on how long individuals can serve in Congress. Under this proposal, members of the Senate would be limited to serving two six-year terms, while members of the House of Representatives would be limited to three two-year terms. The goal of the measure is to create a system of rotation in office and prevent individuals from holding federal legislative power for decades.

Because this is a proposed constitutional amendment, it faces a much higher bar for success than standard legislation. To become part of the Constitution, the resolution would first need to pass both the House and the Senate with a two-thirds majority vote. If it clears that hurdle, it would then need to be ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the states (38 out of 50) within a seven-year period.

If enacted, this change would fundamentally alter the structure of the federal government by ensuring regular turnover in leadership. Proponents often argue this would bring fresh perspectives to Washington and reduce the influence of career politicians, while critics suggest it could lead to a loss of institutional knowledge and increase the influence of unelected lobbyists and staffers. The amendment would not apply retroactively to terms served before its ratification.
