Congressional Term Limits Amendment

The Congressional Term Limits Amendment is a proposed change to the U.S. Constitution aiming to restrict how long members of Congress—both House and Senate—can serve. It seeks to limit the number of terms a person can hold these offices, promoting fresh ideas and preventing career politicians from staying in power indefinitely. Proponents believe it can enhance democratic accountability and reduce entrenched influence, while opponents argue it may diminish experienced leadership. As a constitutional amendment, it would require approval by Congress and ratification by the states before becoming law.
