This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to establish term limits for judges on the Supreme Court and inferior federal courts . Under this amendment, judges would be appointed to serve during good behavior for a fixed term of 20 years . This aims to introduce regular turnover and potentially reduce the lifetime tenure currently held by federal judges. Furthermore, the amendment stipulates that no person who has completed a 20-year term on a court would be eligible for reappointment to that same court. These new term limits would only apply to judicial appointments made on or after the date the amendment is ratified by the states, ensuring existing judges are not affected.
