Sen. Joe Manchin, I-W.V., and Sen. Peter Welch, D-Vt., have put forth a constitutional amendment aimed at establishing term limits for future Supreme Court justices. Currently, justices serve without any restrictions on the length of their terms, as per the U.S. Constitution.
The proposed amendment suggests implementing 18-year terms, with new terms starting every two years. However, these term limits would only apply to justices appointed after the amendment's ratification, allowing current justices to serve for as long as they choose.
