Plain-English Summary

This bill would limit how long Supreme Court justices can serve by establishing 18-year term limits, after which justices would move to a senior status with reduced duties rather than retiring completely. The change would mean each president gets to appoint roughly one new justice every two years instead of waiting for justices to voluntarily retire, which could make the Court's composition more predictable and less dependent on individual justices' life expectancy. This would affect the nine current justices and reshape how the Supreme Court operates going forward.
