Summary of Bill SJRES 1

Bill 118 sjres 1 is a joint resolution that proposes amendments to the Constitution of the United States in three key areas.

First, the resolution seeks to establish a line item veto, which would allow the President to veto specific provisions of a bill without having to veto the entire bill. This would give the President more control over the federal budget and could potentially help reduce wasteful spending.

Second, the resolution aims to impose a limitation on the number of terms that a Member of Congress may serve. This would prevent career politicians from holding onto power for too long and could potentially bring fresh perspectives and ideas to Congress. Lastly, the resolution would require a vote of two-thirds of the membership of both Houses of Congress on any legislation raising or imposing new taxes or fees. This would make it more difficult for Congress to pass tax increases, potentially leading to lower taxes for American citizens. Overall, Bill 118 sjres 1 addresses important issues related to government spending, term limits for politicians, and taxation. If passed, these amendments could have a significant impact on the way Congress operates and how laws are made in the United States.
