McCormick seeks to impose term limits on Congress with new legislative proposal

Published April 10, 2025 12:02pm ET



Sen. David McCormick (R-PA) unveiled a joint resolution, first shared with the Washington Examiner, on Thursday seeking to impose term limits on lawmakers.

McCormick’s resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution to implement term limits in Congress. It is a Senate companion to Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick’s (R-PA) House resolution, which proposes limiting senators to two six-year terms and House members to six two-year terms. The limitations would not apply to lawmakers who were elected prior to the 118th Congress, which convened in January 2023.
