AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would set limits on members of Congress who have served 12 or more total years in the House or in the Senate. Once a member reaches 12 years of service in their chamber, they would no longer receive their congressional salary. They also could not serve as chair or ranking minority member of any standing or select committee, or hold a House or Senate leadership position, such as Majority or Minority Leader or Whip. The rules would apply starting with the 121st Congress.
