Bill information
Summary
To establish a process by which the appointment of Supreme Court Justices can occur at regular time intervals, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
This bill would change how Supreme Court Justices are appointed by creating a regular schedule for new appointments. Under the proposal, one new Justice would be appointed every two years by the sitting president. The bill aims to ensure that presidential administrations get to shape the Court through predictable, regular appointments rather than unpredictable vacancies. Currently, Justices serve for life and vacancies only occur when they die or retire, making appointment timing uncertain. The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives and has not yet advanced in the legislative process.
