Congress.gov shows H.J.Res.11 was introduced on January 9, 2023 and later had its "Motion to Report Measure Defeated by the Yeas and Nays:: 17 - 19" on September 28, 2023. Burlison is listed among the cosponsors in the bill text and history.

Burlison advanced a concrete federal term-limits constitutional amendment effort, but it failed in committee and did not become law.

The Missouri Senate press release says Burlison presented SCR 25, which called for an Article V convention of the states to impose term limits on members of Congress, and Burlison said an Article V convention was "the only way" to achieve congressional term limits.

Shows Burlison pursued term limits through state-level Article V advocacy before joining Congress, further indicating an effort to advance the policy rather than an enacted federal result.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

The promised outcome was to enact federal term limits, which would require a federal constitutional amendment or comparable federal enactment. Burlison did take serious action consistent with the promise: he signed the term-limits pledge, cosponsored H.J.Res.11 in the 118th Congress, and continued supporting a similar amendment in the 119th Congress. However, H.J.Res.11 was defeated in committee on September 28, 2023, and the later H.J.Res.12 remained only introduced and referred to committee. No federal term-limits amendment or law was enacted, so the outcome was not delivered, though his effort merits the effort badge.

The promised outcome was to enact federal term limits. Burlison supported and cosponsored H.J.Res.11 in the 118th Congress, a concrete constitutional amendment proposal to limit House members to three terms and Senators to two terms, but the measure failed in committee and was not enacted. Because there was a serious legislative attempt but no delivered federal term-limits enactment, the promise is not fulfilled while meriting an effort badge.
