00:00:01.940 --> 00:00:04.870
representative RO Khanna, the first vice chair of the

2
00:00:04.870 --> 00:00:07.710
House Progressive Caucus, is spearheading efforts on a bill

3
00:00:07.710 --> 00:00:10.939
to impose term limits on Supreme Court justices. According

4
00:00:10.939 --> 00:00:13.890
to a draft copy of the legislation, justices would

5
00:00:13.890 --> 00:00:16.839
be kept to an 18 year tenure versus the lifetime

6
00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:20.679
appointment currently outlined in the Constitution. Current justices would

7
00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:22.969
be grandfathered in. It would not have to step

8
00:00:22.969 --> 00:00:25.350
down from their roles. The bill would have the

9
00:00:25.350 --> 00:00:28.719
president select nominees during the 1st and 3rd year of

10
00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:31.109
their term, and the nominee would then be approved

11
00:00:31.109 --> 00:00:32.250
by the upper chamber.
