Tim Scott: “I noticed in one of the reviews of the various amendments that the amendment that is in order that I will be presenting…”

“I noticed in one of the reviews of the various amendments that the amendment that is in order that I will be presenting has been inadvertently mistaken in its terms. That review mistakenly suggested that my amendment would limit the House Members to 3 terms, or 6 years for Members of the House. This is an error. In fact my amendment, like most others, sets a limit of 6 terms or 12 years for the House. My amendment is identical to the McCollum substitute, except for the fact that it allows States to set a shorter limit if they desire than those in the underlying resolution. It does nothing else. It is identical, except for the fact it allows the States an option to go lower. For those reviews that have suggested otherwise, they are in error. Today's Congressional Quarterly review is accurate in its description. Mr. Speaker, I support the rule and oppose the underlying bill, without the amendment.”
