An open letter to the U.S. House of Representatives
It’s time for Supreme Court term limits!
411 so far! Help us get to 500 signers!
I’m writing as your constituent to urge you to cosponsor the Supreme Court Tenure Establishment and Retirement Modernization Act of 2023 (H.R. 5566, TERM Act), re-introduced by Rep. Hank Johnson. The United States is the only major constitutional democracy in the world that doesn’t have term limits for our top justices. It’s a flaw in our system that must be corrected.
Rep. Johnson’s TERM Act would introduce fixed 18-year terms for current and future Supreme Court justices and establish regular nominations of justices in the first and third years of each presidential term as the sole means of Supreme Court appointments.
This reform is supported by 7 in 10 voters, including myself, and would put an end to the partisanship that surrounds Supreme Court vacancies, and return the Court to a body that is representative of the values of the American people.
Help restore trust in America’s highest court by cosponsoring the TERM Act! Thanks.
