Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to require that the Supreme Court of the United States be composed of nine justices.

This proposal would add a rule to the U.S. Constitution that the Supreme Court must always have nine justices. It does not describe any other changes. In plain terms, it would lock the Court’s size at nine, instead of letting it be changed by regular laws in the future (as described in the resolution’s text) .

• Key point: The amendment would fix the number of justices at nine on the nation’s highest court .
