得克萨斯州共和党众议员奇普·罗伊提出一项提案，拟取消众议院和参议院议员在各自立法议院任职满12年后的薪酬与权力。
提案文本写道：“在众议院或参议院（视情况而定）累计任职12年或以上的国会议员（包括国会代表或驻地专员），自该议员在其所属国会议院任职满12年之日起，不得再享有(b)小节中所述的任何受保障福利。”
根据该提案，这类长期任职的议员将不再有资格领取薪酬，也不再有资格担任众议院和参议院的领导职位，或担任常设委员会或特别委员会的主席或 ranking 成员（资深议员）。

据一份新闻稿称，罗伊表示：“长期以来，华盛顿一直在以更大的权力、更高的薪酬和更深的职位固化来奖励任职时长。如果国会议员希望在12年任期后继续任职，且不通过宪法修正案对其加以限制，那么他们应该在不领取纳税人资助薪水、不垄断委员会主席和领导职位的情况下参选。”
他在新闻稿中还表示：“这项法案有助于确保公共服务始终如其字面含义：为人民服务，而非成为终身政治职业。”
罗伊自2019年起在美国众议院任职，上月在得克萨斯州总检察长共和党初选 runoff 中输给了得克萨斯州参议员梅斯·米德尔顿。

罗伊的提案文本显示，这些限制将由议会“分别作为参议院和众议院的规则制定权行使而通过”，因此“被视为各议院规则的一部分……”，且该限制的通过“充分承认两院有权随时以与该议院其他规则相同的方式和程度变更规则（只要涉及该议院的议事程序）”。
提案中写道：“本条的禁令将适用于第121届国会及其后的每一届国会。”
第121届美国国会将于2029年初启动。

Republican Rep. Chip Roy of Texas has fielded a proposal to cut off pay and power from House and Senate lawmakers once they’ve served 12 years in their respective legislative chamber.
“A Member of Congress (including a Delegate or Resident Commissioner to the Congress) who has served 12 or more cumulative years in the House of Representatives or in the Senate, as the case may be, may not, on and after the date that the Member reaches 12 years of service in the Member’s respective House of Congress, be eligible for any covered benefit described in subsection (b),” the text states.
Under the proposal, such long-serving lawmakers would no longer be eligible for pay and would no longer be eligible to serve in House and Senate leadership posts or as the chair or ranking member of standing or select committees.

“For too long, Washington has rewarded longevity with greater power, higher pay, and deeper entrenchment. If members of Congress want to serve beyond 12 years absent a constitutional amendment limiting them, they should do so without taxpayer-funded salaries and without monopolizing committee chairs and leadership positions,” Roy said, according to a press release.
“This bill helps ensure that public service remains exactly that: service to the people, not a lifelong career in politics,” he said, according to the release.
Roy, who has served in the U.S. House of Representatives since 2019, lost the Texas attorney general Republican primary runoff contest last month to Lone Star State Sen. Mayes Middleton.

The text of Roy’s proposal indicates that the restrictions would be enacted by the legislature “as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate and House of Representatives, respectively, and as such are deemed a part of the rules of each House, respectively … ” and that the restrictions would be enacted “with full recognition of the constitutional right of either House to change the rules (so far as relating to the procedure of that House) at any time, in the same manner, and to the same extent as in the case of any other rule of that House.”
“The prohibition under this section shall apply with respect to the One Hundred Twenty-First Congress and each succeeding Congress,” the measure states.
The 121st Congress will start in early 2029.

The U.S. Constitution stipulates that “Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings,” but also states that “The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States.”
