                               RESOLUTION


 
  Providing for the consideration of a joint resolution (H.J. Res. 2) 
 proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States with 
 respect to the number of terms of office of Members of the Senate and 
                     the House of Representatives.

    Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this resolution, 
the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule XXIII, declare the 
House resolved into the Committee of the Whole House on the state of 
the Union for the consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 2) 
proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States with 
respect to the number of terms of office of Members of the Senate and 
the House of Representatives, and the first reading of the joint 
resolution shall be dispensed with. After general debate which shall be 
confined to the joint resolution and shall not exceed 6 hours to be 
equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority 
member of the Committee on the Judiciary, the joint resolution shall be 
considered for amendment under the 5-minute rule. It shall first be in 
order to consider an amendment in the nature of a substitute consisting 
of the text of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 3) proposing an 
amendment to the Constitution of the United States limiting the period 
of time United States Senators and Representatives may serve. At the 
conclusion of the consideration of the joint resolution for amendment, 
the Committee shall rise and report the joint resolution to the House 
with such amendments as may have been adopted, and the previous 
question shall be considered as ordered on the joint resolution and 
amendments thereto to final passage without intervening motion except 
one motion to recommit, with or without instructions.
