The limit she has agreed to will prevent her from serving as speaker beyond another four years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis proposal, which was developed by Members who care about the institution of the House of Representatives, would provide that Members in senior leadership positions can serve 3 terms with an additional term with two-thirds support of the Caucus,\u201d Pelosi said in a statement. \u201cIt would include the two terms of the Democratic Majority from 2007 to 2011.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The proposal will be brought before the Democratic Caucus for a discussion and a vote by Feb. 15, the California Democrat said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am comfortable with the proposal and it is my intention to abide by it whether it passes or not,\u201d Pelosi said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Yet CNN <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/12\/12\/politics\/nancy-pelosi-house-democrats-leadership-2022\/index.html\">reported<\/a> Sunday evening:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"21.060046189376\">\n<p>Speaker Nancy Pelosi will stay until at least after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/12\/12\/politics\/midterm-election-2022-republican-wave\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the midterm elections<\/a>, extending her nearly 20-year run as the House\u2019s top Democrat after she turns 82 and, perhaps, beyond.<\/p>\n<p>She is planning to file and run for reelection in her San Francisco district next year \u2014 at least for now \u2014 in keeping with her pattern of deciding about staying in Congress after the elections, when she likely will have won an 18th full term.<\/p>\n<p>And sources familiar with Pelosi\u2019s thinking say she isn\u2019t ruling out the possibility of trying to stay in leadership after 2022, despite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2020\/11\/18\/politics\/nancy-pelosi-house-speaker-leave-position\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">her original vow <\/a>to leave as the top House Democrat. She\u2019ll devote much of next year to raising money for Democrats as they try to hold their narrow majority, those sources tell CNN, adding to the nearly $1 billion her office calculates she has already raised for Democrats in her time as leader.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Pelosi\u2019s promise was key to securing the support of hard-left \u201cprogressives\u201d like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who had initially seemed to oppose Pelosi\u2019s bid to take the gavel back.<\/p>\n<p>Her only chance of keeping her promise is to lead her party to defeat \u2014 and even then, she may still vie to lead House Democrats, as she did after losing the House in 2010.<\/p>\n<p><em>Joel B.
