Congressional Term Limits Constitutional Amendment
This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment limiting members of the House to six two-year terms (12 years) and Senators to two six-year terms (12 years). Current members would be grandfathered but their service clock starts at ratification.

Has anyone estimated the actual cost? I want to support it but we need concrete numbers.
Mixed feelings. The goal is right but there are simpler ways to achieve the same outcome with less bureaucracy.
The timeline is too aggressive. I propose extending implementation by 2 years.
Extend implementation timeline by 2 years
+ Proposed Text
Section 2(c) amended: "Compliance deadline extended from 24 to 48 months, with interim milestones at 12, 24, and 36 months."
Concerned about unintended consequences. Has anyone modeled what happens if this interacts badly with existing law?
