Constitutional Debt Limit Amendment Proposal

Proposes adding a new amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would take effect only if the legislatures of three‑quarters of the states ratify it within seven years after it is sent for ratification. The provision sets a seven‑year deadline for state ratification as a condition for the amendment becoming part of the Constitution. If enacted and submitted to the states, this change would require coordinated action by state governments and would affect all Americans only if the required number of states ratify within the specified seven‑year window.
