This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment that would limit members of Congress to serving a maximum of 18 years total, regardless of whether they serve in the House, Senate, or both chambers. The amendment would apply to future service only and would not count any time already served before ratification. For the amendment to become law, it would need to be approved by two-thirds of both the House and Senate, then ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures within seven years. This proposal targets long-serving members of Congress and would fundamentally change the rules governing how long elected officials can remain in their positions.
