 On Wednesday, U.S. Rep. Michael Waltz (R-Fla.) cosponsored a Constitutional amendment to impose term limits on Members of Congress to 12 years for both the House of Representatives and Senate, pledging to end a cycle of career politicians and fix a broken Washington.

“Congress should be about servant leadership and making selfless decisions to address our country’s issues,” Waltz said. "When I was sworn into office, the federal government was partially shut down because the previous Congress couldn’t perform its most basic duty. Term limits will hold Washington, D.C. accountable so we can accomplish the goals of the American people.”

H.J. Res. 4 would limit members of the U.S. House of Representatives to six two-year terms and members of the Senate to two six-year terms. Term limits would apply to members of the 115^th Congress and every session of Congress moving forward.

The proposal was introduced by Reps. Jodey Arrington (R-Tex.), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Penn.), Greg Gianforte (R-Mont.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.). Sens. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) and Mike Braun (R-Ind.) introduced a similar proposal in the U.S. Senate this year.
