Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to limit the number of years during which an individual may serve as a Member of Congress.

HJRES 86 proposes a constitutional amendment to limit total service as a U.S. Congress member to 18 years across both House and Senate terms. It would prevent any individual from serving more than 18 years total, whether as a Representative or Senator. Terms served before the amendment's ratification would not count toward this limit. The amendment requires ratification by 3/4 of state legislatures within seven years of submission to become part of the Constitution. This change would directly affect all future and current members seeking re-election beyond the 18-year cap.
