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.
The amendment limited members of the Senate to two six-year terms and members of the House to six two-year terms. However, constitutional amendments require a two-thirds majority and the votes to impose term limits on Congress fell short of that number. In May 1995, the United States Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in U.S. Term Limits, Inc. v. Thornton (1995).
