Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to provide for term limits for justices of the Supreme Court.
Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Summary
The joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment that would set an 18‑year term limit for all Supreme Court justices. It would also require any current justice who has already served 18 years or more to step down, with the chief justice’s vacancy filled according to existing law. The change aims to create regular turnover on the Court and reduce lifetime tenure.
