concurring therein), That the following article is proposed as an 
amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which shall be

    ``Section 1. The House of Representatives shall be composed of 
Representatives chosen every four years.
    ``Section 2. No person shall be elected as a Representative more

times a person is elected unless the person serves more than two years 
as a Representative pursuant to that election.
    ``Section 3. No person shall be elected or appointed as a Senator 
more than twice. An election or appointment to any part of a term for 
which some other person was elected shall not count in determining the 
number of times a person is elected or appointed unless the person 
serves more than three years as a Senator pursuant to that election or 
appointment.
    ``Section 4. Only elections or appointments which occur after the 
date of ratification of this article shall count in determining the 
number of times a person is elected or appointed.''.
