CRS explains that the Supreme Court held congressional term limits require a constitutional amendment, and Article V requires two-thirds of both chambers to propose an amendment plus ratification by three-fourths of the states.
Assessments
Mackenzie made a concrete same-term federal legislative effort by cosponsoring H.J.Res.12 in the 119th Congress, a proposed constitutional amendment to impose term limits on Members of Congress. But the measure remains only introduced/referred to committee and has not implemented term limits. The promise also covered bureaucrats, and the available evidence does not show a delivered federal outcome for bureaucratic term limits. Because Mackenzie is still in the relevant term and the outcome has not been finally foreclosed, the claim is unresolved rather than never.
