Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to limit the number of terms that a Member of Congress may serve.
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to limit congressional service terms: it would restrict Representatives to six terms and Senators to two terms. Time spent filling a vacancy (for more than one year for Representatives or three years for Senators) would count toward these limits. The amendment would not apply to terms already served before ratification, meaning current members would not be affected. It requires ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures within seven years to become part of the Constitution.
