A joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to limit the number of terms an individual may serve as a Member of Congress.

# Congressional Term Limits Proposal Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This proposed constitutional amendment would limit how many terms members of Congress can serve. Currently, there are no term limits for senators or representatives—they can serve indefinitely if voters keep re-electing them. If passed, this amendment would cap the number of terms any individual could serve in the House or Senate.

(The specific term limits aren't detailed in the information provided, but similar proposals typically suggest limits like 6 terms for House members or 2 terms for senators.) **Who It Affects and Key Details** This would directly affect current and future members of Congress and potentially change election dynamics across the country. The amendment would require approval from two-thirds of both the House and Senate, then ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures—making it a difficult constitutional change to achieve. The bill is currently in committee, meaning it hasn't advanced to a full congressional vote yet. **Current Status** As of now, SJRES 48 remains in the committee review process with no indication of imminent movement toward a vote.
