This bill would lock the U.S. Supreme Court at nine members by putting that number in the Constitution. It would stop future presidents and Congress from easily adding or removing seats for political advantage. Supporters may see this as protecting stability and public trust, while critics may say it reduces flexibility to change the Court when needed.
