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

This measure would change the U.S. Constitution to set term limits for Congress. Senators could serve up to two terms, and House members could serve up to three terms. After hitting the limit, they could not serve again in that chamber (and for the Senate, they also could not be appointed) .

It would only take effect if enough states approve it. The amendment must be ratified by three-fourths of state legislatures within seven years to become part of the Constitution .

• Who is affected: Members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives
• What changes: Limits of 2 Senate terms; 3 House terms; ineligible to serve again in that chamber after reaching the limit (no Senate appointments, either)
• When it applies: Only if approved by three-fourths of states within seven years
