A joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to limit the number of terms an individual may serve as a Member of Congress.
Summary
This joint resolution, introduced by Senator David McCormick (R-PA), proposes an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would establish term limits for Members of Congress. If enacted, this amendment would restrict how many consecutive terms individual senators and representatives could serve in their respective chambers.
As a joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment, this measure would require approval by two-thirds of both the Senate and House of Representatives, followed by ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures to become part of the Constitution. The bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, having been introduced in April 2025 and referred to committee. Citizens should note that constitutional amendments represent fundamental changes to the structure of government and have historically been difficult to achieve, requiring broad consensus across both chambers and the states.
