A member of the House of Representatives, serves a term of two years, and a Senator six years but neither is restricted to the number of terms elected.
During the early 1990s, voters in 24 states had voted to pass Congressional term limits (most voted for a limit of 6 two year terms for members of the House of Representatives, and 2 six year terms for members elected to the Senate.). In 1994, Republicans campaigned on the platform for Congressional reform, with a promise to place term limits on both members of both Houses. They won the majority of the seats in the House, and proposed a Constitutional Amendment, which would limit the number of terms members could serve as Senators (2 six year terms), and as a member of the House of Representatives (6 two year terms.) Constitutional Amendments require a two-thirds majority, vote by members of the Houses to pass into law. The Congress was successful in obtaining 230 votes, but needed 290 to pass.
In 1995, the Supreme Court ended Congressional term limits in the 24 states, which had voted them into law. In U.S. Term Limits, Inc. v. Thornton, the Court ruled 5-4, that the States cannot imposed term limits on their Federal Representatives, or Senators.
