1. Constitutional Amendment Proposal:

   • To introduce term limits, we need a constitutional amendment. This can happen in two ways:
     • Congressional Proposal: A two-thirds majority in both the House and the Senate must approve the amendment. Alternatively, a national constitutional convention can be called by two-thirds of state legislatures.
     • State-Led Proposal: Two-thirds of state legislatures can request Congress to convene a constitutional convention to propose the amendment.

2. Ratification:

   • Once an amendment is proposed, it must be ratified by three-fourths of state legislatures or by conventions in three-fourths of states.
   • This process ensures that the amendment reflects the will of the people across the nation.

3. Specifics of the Term Limits:

   • The amendment should clearly define the term limits for both chambers:
     • For the House of Representatives, we could limit representatives to three terms (for a total of six years).
     • For the Senate, we might set a limit of two terms (for a total of twelve years).
   • These limits would apply to future officeholders and not retroactively affect current members.

4. Public Debate and Advocacy:

   • Term limits are a significant change, so public discourse and advocacy are crucial.
   • Scholars, politicians, and citizens should engage in informed discussions about the merits and drawbacks of term limits.

5. Balancing Stability and Fresh Perspectives:

   • Advocates argue that term limits prevent entrenched incumbency and encourage fresh ideas.
   • Critics contend that experienced legislators bring stability and institutional knowledge.

6. Supreme Court Review:

   • If the amendment is ratified, it could face legal challenges.
   • The Supreme Court would likely review its constitutionality.
