Cosponsor the ROBE Act Now
House Joint Resolution 174, known as the ROBE Act (Restoring Order and Balance to the Establishment of the Supreme Court), is a proposed constitutional amendment that would establish 18-year term limits for U.S. Supreme Court justices. Currently, justices serve lifetime appointments, which critics argue reduces accountability and allows any single presidential administration disproportionate influence over the Court for decades. The ROBE Act would create a structured, rotating system of appointments designed to bring more balance and predictability to the nation's highest court.
Despite growing public interest in Supreme Court reform, H.J.Res. 174 currently has only four cosponsors in the House. Because it is a constitutional amendment, the resolution requires a two-thirds supermajority in both chambers of Congress before it can be sent to the states for ratification by three-quarters of state legislatures. Broad, bipartisan cosponsorship is essential to demonstrate the political will needed to advance this landmark reform.
Constituents are urging their House representatives to cosponsor H.J.Res. 174 and help build the coalition necessary to move Supreme Court term limits forward. Adding cosponsors signals to House leadership that this issue deserves floor consideration and a formal debate.
