In the United States, members of the House of Representatives serve two‑year terms and can be reelected indefinitely , with no constitutional term limits.

Basic term length

  • Each Representative is elected for a two‑year term ; all 435 House seats are up for election every even‑numbered year.
  • A new term starts on January 3 following the November election.

Term limits and reelection

  • There are no federal term limits for U.S. Representatives, so a member can serve many consecutive terms as long as they keep winning their district’s vote.
  • By contrast, U.S. Senators serve six‑year terms , also without term limits.
