Evidence

Maryland Congressman Johnny Olszewski said he would introduce the Reform of Bench Eligibility (ROBE) Act, a constitutional amendment establishing 18-year term limits for Supreme Court justices, saying the move came after a recent ruling that he said gutted the Voting Rights Act and that the Court needed to be a fair and independent institution.

Recent, concrete legislative action on court independence; it also explicitly ties the effort to voting-rights concerns.

The joint resolution, submitted by Mr. Olszewski with Mr. Bacon, proposes a constitutional amendment to limit the President's pardon power, requiring notification to Congress and allowing Congress to act to nullify a reprieve or pardon under specified procedures.

Concrete legislative step aimed at preventing presidential abuse of the pardon power.

Assessments

delivered same_term

The promise was to support legislation, not necessarily to secure enactment. In his federal House term, Olszewski cosponsored the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act for voting rights, announced/advanced the ROBE Act on Supreme Court term limits for court independence, and submitted or cosponsored measures limiting presidential pardon and emergency powers. These are concrete legislative actions covering the promised areas, so the support commitment is fulfilled in the same term even though the measures had not become law.
