Summary

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on Members of Congress. Specifically, it would restrict individuals from serving more than three terms as a Representative in the House and no more than two terms as a Senator. The proposal clarifies that filling a vacancy counts as a full term if the Representative serves for more than one year or the Senator serves for more than three years. Importantly, any terms served before the amendment's ratification would not be considered when determining eligibility for future elections or appointments under these new limits.
