A joint resolution urging the United States Congress to propose an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to require the Supreme Court of the United States to be composed of nine justices.

Iowa's HJR 2005 is a joint resolution urging the U.S. Congress to propose a constitutional amendment requiring the Supreme Court to always have exactly nine justices. It does not change current law but formally requests Congress to draft and submit this amendment. The resolution directs Iowa's Secretary of the Senate to send certified copies to the President, Senate and House leaders, and Iowa's congressional delegation. This is a procedural request, not a binding law, and directly affects only the process for amending the Constitution. The bill explicitly states it seeks to preserve the Court's stability by preventing future political changes to its size.
