Bill overview
This bill, the Supreme Court Tenure Establishment and Retirement Modernization Act, aims to modernize the terms of service for Supreme Court justices. It limits justices to a single 18-year term, with nominations occurring during specific years following presidential elections. The bill also addresses the situation of retired justices, allowing them to temporarily serve again if the court’s size falls below its constitutional minimum. It seeks to establish a more predictable and defined system for Supreme Court justices’ tenure.
