Supreme Court Justice Term Limits Bill
Official: Supreme Court Tenure Establishment and Retirement Modernization Act of 2025
This bill changes how Supreme Court justices are appointed and how long they serve, aiming to create a more regular turnover of justices. It ensures that justices serve fixed terms instead of for life, which could impact the court's decisions over time.
1. This bill sets a limit of one 18-year term for new Supreme Court justices. 2. The President will nominate one new justice every two years after a presidential election. 3. Current justices will retire based on the appointment of new justices, starting with the longest-serving. 4. Retired justices can be called back to serve temporarily if there are not enough active justices.
