Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to limit the number of terms an individual may serve as a Member of Congress.

Bill 119 hjres 5, also known as the Term Limits for Members of Congress Amendment, proposes to amend the Constitution of the United States to limit the number of terms an individual may serve as a Member of Congress.

If passed, this amendment would restrict Senators to serving no more than two terms (12 years) and Representatives to serving no more than three terms (6 years). This would apply to both current and future members of Congress, with the clock starting from the date of enactment.

Supporters of this bill argue that implementing term limits would help prevent career politicians from becoming entrenched in power and promote fresh ideas and perspectives in Congress. They believe that term limits would also help reduce corruption and increase accountability among elected officials. Opponents of the bill, however, argue that term limits could lead to a loss of institutional knowledge and experience in Congress, potentially hindering the ability of lawmakers to effectively govern. They also argue that term limits could limit the ability of voters to choose their preferred representatives. Overall, Bill 119 hjres 5 is a proposed constitutional amendment that seeks to impose term limits on Members of Congress in an effort to promote turnover and accountability in the legislative branch.
