Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to limit the number of consecutive terms that a Member of Congress may serve.

HJRES 120 proposes a constitutional amendment to limit consecutive terms for members of Congress. It would restrict Senators to serving two consecutive terms and Representatives to five consecutive terms, with both requiring a one-year waiting period before re-election. The amendment excludes terms filled by short-term vacancies (less than three years for Senators, less than one year for Representatives) from counting toward the limit, and does not apply to terms served before ratification. This proposal requires ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures within seven years to become part of the Constitution.
