HR 1074

This bill, the Supreme Court Term Limits and Regular Appointments Act of 2025, proposes changes to the Supreme Court’s structure and appointment process. It establishes staggered 18-year terms for Justices, requiring the President to nominate and the Senate to confirm one Justice every two years. Justices serving 18 years would be designated as ‘Senior Justices’ who could continue to perform judicial duties under the Chief Justice’s direction, but are not required to retire. If the Senate fails to act on a nomination within 120 days, it’s considered to have waived its authority, and the nominee is seated. The bill also outlines a process for assigning Senior Justices to fill vacancies.
