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.
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 three terms (six years total), and members of the Senate would be limited to two terms (twelve years total).
If ratified, this change would fundamentally alter how citizens are represented by ensuring regular turnover in both chambers of Congress. However, the bill includes a "grandfather clause," meaning that any terms served by current or past members before the amendment is officially adopted would not count toward these new limits.
