This joint resolution introduces a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution, aiming to establish a fixed composition for the Supreme Court. The central provision of this amendment is to mandate that the Supreme Court shall consist of nine justices , thereby preventing future changes to its size by legislative action alone. For this amendment to become part of the Constitution, it must be approved by a two-thirds vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Following congressional approval, it would then require ratification by the legislatures of three-fourths of the individual states within a seven-year period from its submission date. This measure seeks to enshrine the current number of Supreme Court justices into the Constitution, ensuring its stability.
