Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to limit the number of terms that a Member of Congress may serve.

# Congressional Term Limits Amendment (HJRES 94) **What the Bill Would Do** This proposed constitutional amendment would limit how long members of Congress can serve in office. If passed by Congress and ratified by states, it would cap the number of terms Representatives and Senators could serve (the specific term limits aren't detailed in the available information, but similar proposals typically suggest 6-12 years of service). This would be a significant change, as there are currently no federal term limits for Congress members beyond voters choosing to re-elect or remove them. **Who It Affects and Key Details** The bill would affect current and future members of the House of Representatives and Senate, potentially ending long political careers and forcing turnover in Congress.

It would impact voters' ability to re-elect their preferred representatives. Because this is a constitutional amendment proposal rather than a regular law, it requires approval from two-thirds of both the House and Senate, then ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures—a high bar that makes such changes rare. **Current Status** As of now, the bill remains in committee and has not advanced further in the legislative process. It was introduced by Representative Tim Burchett (R-Tennessee) in the current Congress.
