Reps reject bill seeking six-year single term for president
The House of Representatives recently rejected a bill that sought to establish a single six-year term for presidents and state governors. This proposed legislation didn’t make it past the second reading stage during Thursday’s plenary session.
It’s interesting to note that currently, U.S. Representatives serve two-year terms with no limit on reelections, while Senators serve six-year terms. There have been proposals to introduce term limits for Congress, with some advocating for a lifetime limit of 12 years for Senators and 6 years for Representatives.
The legislative process can be complex, with bills going through various stages before becoming law.
In this case, the bill didn’t progress beyond the second reading stage.
