A joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to normalize vacancies and appointments for justices of the Supreme Court of the United States and for other purposes.

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to establish an 18-year term limit for Supreme Court justices, with one justice appointed every two years on a staggered schedule beginning July 1 of odd-numbered years. The amendment would fix the Court at nine justices, require the most senior justice to become Chief Justice upon vacancy, and prohibit justices from serving more than one term. Vacancies arising before a new justice's term begins may be filled by presidential appointment with Senate confirmation, with the replacement serving only the remainder of the original 18-year term.
