Evidence

Congress.gov lists S.J.Res.1 as a proposed constitutional amendment on congressional term limits. Sponsor Ted Cruz introduced it on 2025-01-07; the Senate Judiciary Committee referral remains the latest action and the bill status remains Introduced.

No new delivery event appeared in the 2026-06-09 to 2026-07-08 lookback. The current-term term-limits measure is still pending, with no Senate passage, House passage, or ratification process completed.

The Congress.gov cosponsor page lists Sen. Mike Lee [R-UT] as an original cosponsor of S.J.Res.1 on 2025-01-07.

Lee took concrete supportive action in the current Congress by joining the congressional term-limits amendment as an original cosponsor.

The introduced text names Mr. Lee among the senators for whom Mr. Cruz introduced the resolution. It would make a person ineligible after three House terms or two Senate terms, with pre-ratification terms excluded.

The bill text confirms that Lee backed an actual constitutional amendment vehicle matching the commitment’s substance: term limits for federal legislators.

Congress.gov lists Sen. Mike Lee [R-UT] as an original cosponsor of S.J.Res.2 on 2023-01-23.

Lee also supported the same term-limits amendment approach earlier in his current Senate term, showing repeated concrete action rather than a one-off statement.

Congress.gov shows S.J.Res.2 was introduced on 2023-01-23, referred to Senate Judiciary the same day, and remained at Introduced status. Its summary says it would limit Representatives to three terms and Senators to two terms.

The prior Congress effort did not advance beyond introduction and committee referral, so it supports effort but not completed enactment of federal term limits.

Assessments

delivered same_term

The promise was framed as supporting federal term limits, not guaranteeing enactment of a constitutional amendment. In the current federal office/campaign context, Lee materially fulfilled that support commitment by serving as an original cosponsor of congressional term-limits constitutional amendment resolutions in the 118th and 119th Congresses. Those measures have not been enacted or ratified, so this would not satisfy a promise to pass term limits, but it does satisfy the narrower promise to support them.
