Bill overview
This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to limit the size of the Supreme Court to a maximum of nine justices. Currently, the number of justices is set by Congress and can change over time. Supporters of this amendment argue that reducing the size of the Court would make it more efficient and accountable. The amendment would establish a fixed number of justices and grant Congress the authority to enforce it through legislation.
