Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and other Republican senators have re-introduced an amendment of the U.S. Constitution that would cap the number of terms a member of Congress can legally serve.

The proposed amendment would limit senators to two six-year terms and member of the House to three two-year terms (pdf).
