Summary of Bill SJRES 2

Bill 118 SJRes 2 is a joint resolution that proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the United States regarding term limits for Members of Congress. The resolution aims to limit the number of terms that a Member of Congress can serve, in an effort to promote turnover and prevent career politicians from holding office for extended periods of time.

If passed, this amendment would impose restrictions on how long Members of Congress can remain in office, potentially bringing new perspectives and ideas to the legislative branch. Proponents of term limits argue that it can help prevent corruption, increase accountability, and promote fresh leadership in government.

However, opponents of term limits argue that it could limit the experience and expertise of long-serving Members of Congress, potentially hindering their ability to effectively govern. They also argue that term limits could lead to a revolving door of inexperienced politicians, creating instability and inefficiency in the legislative process.

It will be interesting to see how this resolution progresses through the legislative process and whether it garners enough support to become a constitutional amendment.
