D’Orsie Legislation Calls for Congressional Term Limits

HARRISBURG -As the 2025-26 Legislative Session kicks off, Rep. Joe D'Orsie (R-Manchester) will make good on his promise to advocate for congressional term limits. D'Orsie plans to introduce legislation that will cap the number of terms congressional office seekers can hold.

"Eight out of 10 Americans support term limits, making it potentially the most bi-partisan issue there is at this political moment," D'Orsie said. "But polling and politics aside, most of my constituents agree that holding public office isn't supposed to be a career or a platform with which to make a fortune."

The legislation will be introduced via Article V of the U.S. Constitution. This application to call a convention of states is narrowly focused on the topic of federal term limits and matches the resolution language other states have already put forth. Constitutionally, 34 of the 50 states must pass identical resolution language in order for the convention to take effect.

D'Orsie and his fellow lawmakers will take the oath of office for the 2025-26 Legislative Session on Tuesday, Jan. 7.
