This measure established term limits for California's members of Congress, limiting U.S. House representatives to three terms (6 years) and U.S. Senators to two terms (12 years). The initiative was later struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1995, which ruled that states cannot impose congressional term limits without a constitutional amendment.
