A Resolution urging the United States Congress to propose an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to require the Supreme Court of the United States to be composed of nine justices. WHEREAS, the independence of the Supreme Court of the United States is essential to the preservation of our constitutional system of government; and WHEREAS, expanding the number of justices on the Supreme Court of the United States for political purposes threatens the Supreme Court's long-term stability and undermines public confidence in our judiciary; and WHEREAS, an amendment to the Constitution of the United States is necessary to ensure that the number of Supreme Court justices remains fixed at nine; NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE, That the Senate urges the United States Congress to propose an amendment to the Constitution of the United States that reads "The supreme Court of the United States shall be composed of nine Judges."; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Secretary of the Senate shall send certified copies of this resolution to the President of the United States, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and members of the Iowa congressional delegation.
