SR 112 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A 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.

This resolution asks Congress to propose a constitutional amendment that would permanently set the number of Supreme Court justices at nine. It directly affects the federal judiciary by seeking to prevent future changes to the court's size. The bill argues that fixing the number of justices is necessary to maintain the court's independence and public trust. If passed, it would require a formal amendment process to ensure the Supreme Court remains composed of exactly nine judges.
