Early push for constitutional term limits in Congress
Washington reports that the 105th Congress is set to debate a constitutional amendment to limit members' terms, a move unlikely to pass. Speaker Newt Gingrich vows to place term limits as a first issue, but pro and anti groups admit the effort faces steep odds in both House and Senate. The 1995 House vote fell 227-204, short of two thirds, while the Senate showed little action. The Supreme Court 1995 ruling left term limits to a constitutional amendment.
