Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to require that the Supreme Court be composed of not more than nine justices.

H.J.Res. 81 proposes a constitutional amendment to set a permanent maximum of nine justices on the U.S. Supreme Court. The amendment would require that the Court never exceed nine members, and Congress would have authority to pass laws enforcing this limit. If ratified by three-fourths of state legislatures within seven years, this change would become part of the Constitution. The bill directly affects the structure of the Supreme Court and the process for appointing justices.
