Summary of Bill SJRES 2
First, it addresses the issue of the 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 spending priorities.
Second, the resolution seeks 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 extended periods of time and potentially increase turnover and fresh perspectives in 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 more careful consideration of the impact of such measures on the American people. Overall, Bill 119 SJRes 2 aims to make significant changes to the way Congress operates and how legislation is passed, with the goal of increasing accountability, transparency, and efficiency in the legislative process.

This bill is good. It stop bad things from happening. I like that it limit how long Congress people can serve. It make them not stay in power too long. Also, it make it harder to raise taxes. I don't like taxes going up. This bill help me keep more money in my pocket.
