Voting analysis
Johnny Olszewski has filed a constitutional amendment establishing term limits for Supreme Court justices. It joins a small collection across this site — on the flag, on criminal immunity, on cognitive competence for the presidency, on citizenship and voting, on a balanced budget — every one of which faces the same arithmetic and almost none of which will meet it.
What the collection shows is which questions members believe cannot be settled by ordinary majority. Life tenure on the court is now on that list, filed by a first-term member.
Of all 16, 16 currently sit at Introduced.
Government operations top his classified subjects, with international affairs second. The remaining filings cover oversight of small business certifications, a foreign service reform act, a stability measure named for a central African state, and a technical amendment to a defence authorisation.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Johnny Olszewski's cluster into: Government Operations and Politics (6), International Affairs (4), Armed Forces and National Security (1), Commerce (1), Education (1), Housing and Community Development (1).
