whose number of terms is limited to two
Term limits in the United States The amendment limited members of the Senate to two six-year terms and members of the House to six two-year terms. However, constitutional amendments require a two-thirds majority and the votes to impose term limits on Congress fell short of that number. In May 1995, the United States Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in U.S. Term Limits, Inc. v. Thornton (1995).
