Congressional Term Limits Amendment: Maximum 12 Years of Combined Service.
This proposed constitutional amendment introduces strict time limits for members of Congress to prevent the formation of a permanent political class. House members will be limited to 6 years and Senators to 12 years, with a combined lifetime cap of 12 years. This change aims to mandate rotation in office and incentivize politicians to simplify the legal code rather than relying on bureaucracy.

Senators may be elected or appointed a maximum of two times (total 12 years).
A lifetime combined service cap of 12 years across both chambers of Congress is established.
