Rep. Ryan Mackenzie

Maddy summaryThis proposed constitutional amendment would limit Members of Congress to serving a maximum of three terms in the House of Representatives or two terms in the Senate. It directly affects current and future members by preventing those who have already served the maximum terms from seeking re-election. Key provisions include counting vacancies filled for more than a year (House) or three years (Senate) as a full term toward the limit, while excluding terms served before ratification from the count. As a constitutional amendment proposal, it requires approval by three-fourths of state legislatures to become law.

Maddy summaryThis bill denies federal funds to states or localities (sanctuary jurisdictions) that restrict sharing immigration status information or refuse to comply with federal detainer requests under specific circumstances. It specifically blocks funding intended for services like food, shelter, healthcare, legal aid, or transportation for undocumented immigrants. The funding cutoff begins 60 days after enactment or the next fiscal year start. An exception applies if a jurisdiction cooperates when an undocumented immigrant is a crime victim or witness.

Maddy summaryHR 156, the "Securing our Elections Act of 2025," requires voters to present a valid photo ID to cast ballots in person or by mail for federal elections starting in 2026. It mandates photo ID for in-person voting, allows provisional ballots if ID isn't presented (with ID submission within 3 days), and requires states to provide free photo ID to those unable to afford it after reasonable effort. Exceptions include voters with religious objections (using an affidavit) and overseas military voters. The bill affects all voters in federal elections and aligns with existing requirements in most states, with implementation tied to the 2026 election cycle.
