The only way term limits can be imposed on Congress is through the ratification of a Constitutional Amendment. The State of Washington learned this the hard way when they passed a law to limit terms of Congressmen in their state. The Supreme Court quickly shot down the law as unconstitutional.
1 On November 11, 2009, Senator Jim DeMint proposed term limits for the U.S. Congress, where the limit for senators will be two terms for a total of 12 years and for representatives, three terms for a total of six years. During each term of Congress from 1995 to 2005, the proposed amendment was passed by the House of Representatives, but never by the Senate, coming closest during voting on June 27, 2006, with 66 in support and 34 opposed (one vote short).
