WASHINGTON (WEEK) — U.S. Senators Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Rep. Francis Rooney (R-Fla.) have introduced a constitutional amendment to implement term limits on members of Congress.

The amendment would limit U.S. Senators to two six-year terms and the U.S. House of Representatives to three two-year terms.

“For too long, members of Congress have abused their power and ignored the will of the American people,” Cruz said. “Term limits on members of Congress offer a solution to the brokenness we see in Washington, D.C. It is long past time for Congress to hold itself accountable. I urge my colleagues to submit this constitutional amendment to the states for speedy ratification.”

The amendment was co-sponsored by Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Mike Lee (R-Utah), and David Perdue (R-Ga.).
