SRES 311 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that the Parliamentarian of the Senate should serve not more than 1 term of 6 years.

This resolution expresses the Senate's preference that the Parliamentarian of the Senate serve no more than one 6-year term. It references historical service averages of 15 years (since 1981) to argue that term limits would prevent long tenures, promote accountability, and encourage fresh perspectives. As a non-binding resolution, it does not change current appointment rules but states the Senate's view on the role's structure.
