A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that the Parliamentarian of the Senate should serve not more than 1 term of 6 years.

Overview: SRES 311 is a Senate resolution introduced on June 26, 2025, which expresses the sense of the Senate that the Parliamentarian of the Senate should serve not more than 1 term of 6 years.

Purpose and Intent: The resolution aims to establish a term limit for the position of Senate Parliamentarian, which has traditionally been an indefinite appointment. The rationale is to promote regular turnover and new perspectives in this influential advisory role.

Key Provisions:
- Recommends that the Senate Parliamentarian be limited to a single 6-year term
- Encourages the Senate to consider this change when appointing or reappointing the Parliamentarian

Affected Parties and Impacts: The primary impact would be on the individual serving as Senate Parliamentarian, who would face a term limit under this resolution. The change could also affect the broader institutional dynamics and decision-making processes in the Senate.

Procedural and Timeline Considerations: As a Senate resolution, SRES 311 does not require the approval of the House or the President to take effect. If adopted, the resolution would express the Senate's preference for a 6-year term limit on the Parliamentarian position.
