Supreme Court Term Limits and Regular Appointments Act of 2025

This bill would change how Supreme Court Justices are appointed by giving each Justice an 18-year term instead of a lifetime appointment. The President would be required to appoint a new Justice every two years, and if that creates more than nine Justices, only the nine most recently appointed would serve as the main panel deciding cases. Justices who finish their 18 years would become "Senior Justices" and could still do some judicial work, but current Justices already on the Court when the law passes would not be forced to retire. The bill also says that if the Senate does not act on a Justice's nomination within 120 days, the nomination would automatically go through without Senate approval.
