What this bill would do

This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution to limit the number of consecutive terms a Member of Congress can serve. It would prohibit Senators from being eligible for election or appointment after serving two consecutive terms until one year has passed. For the House of Representatives, the limit is set at five consecutive terms before a one-year waiting period is required. Terms served to fill a vacancy are generally excluded from these counts unless the vacancy period meets specific length requirements. Finally, terms that began before this article was ratified would not be counted toward these limits.
