This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to limit the number of terms that members of Congress can serve. The primary purpose is to impose term limits on Representatives and Senators. The key provisions stipulate that Representatives can serve no more than six two-year terms (12 years total), and Senators can serve no more than two six-year terms (12 years total). The proposed amendment would directly impact current and future members of Congress by restricting their length of service. It aims to promote regular turnover in Congress and prevent career politicians from serving indefinitely. The specific groups affected would be sitting members of the House of Representatives and the Senate.
