Bill Summary • SJRES 48

Overview: SJRES 48 - A joint resolution 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
Purpose and Intent: This joint resolution aims to amend the U.S. Constitution to impose term limits on members of Congress. Supporters believe this would help prevent career politicians, increase turnover, and bring fresh ideas to the legislative branch.

Key Provisions:
- Proposes a constitutional amendment limiting Senators to two six-year terms and Representatives to six two-year terms
- Specifies that the term limits would apply to terms of office beginning after the ratification of the amendment

Affected Parties and Impacts: SJRES 48 would primarily impact current and future members of Congress, who would be subject to the proposed term limits. The general public could also be affected through changes to the composition and dynamics of the legislative branch.

Procedural and Timeline Considerations: SJRES 48 has been introduced in the Senate and is currently in the early stages of the legislative process. If passed by Congress, the proposed constitutional amendment would need to be ratified by three-fourths of the states before taking effect.
