Term Limits for Congress and the Supreme Court

83% of registered voters support a term limit amendment for members of Congress and Supreme Court justices. 

Being elected to Congress has become a lifelong job. Supreme Court justices have always enjoyed lifetime appointments.

Members of the House are able to serve unlimited two-year terms. Senators can serve unlimited six-year terms.  Almost 90% of individuals elected to Congress seek reelection, and incumbents win 94% of the time.     

Term limits are a great example of the divide between having the majority of popular will (83% of voters support) and political reality.
