Endorsement - We endorse the TERM Act which would establish terms of 18 years for Supreme Court justices
🗽A well informed citizenry is the best defense against tyranny.
People Power United joined other local, state, and national groups to endorse the Term Act. Shout out to Stand Up America for leading these efforts.
April 9, 2024
Today, 50+ advocacy organizations representing a wide range of issues announced their endorsement of the Supreme Court Tenure Establishment and Retirement Modernization Act of 2023 (TERM Act; H.R.5566) and called on members of Congress to cosponsor the bill.
The TERM Act, re-introduced by the U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson (GA-04), would create 18-year terms for current and future Supreme Court justices and provide two appointments to the Court in each 4-year presidential term. The United States remains the only modern constitutional democracy in the world which doesn’t have term or age limits and virtually every state’s highest court has likewise rejected life tenure. Supreme Court term limits remain broadly popular with the American people, supported by 7 in 10 voters, and would help ensure the Court remains broadly representative of the values of the American people.
