Assessments
evidence-backed verdictsThese are sourced verdicts from fact-checkers or community evidence reviews — not opinions.
Both cited PRIMARY sources are reachable and support the outcome. The britt.senate.gov and cruz.senate.gov press releases each (1) describe a constitutional amendment (S.J.Res. 1, 119th Congress) that limits U.S. Senators to two six-year terms and U.S. House members to three two-year terms — an exact match to the pledged structure (three House terms, two Senate terms) — and (2) explicitly list "Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.)" among the cosponsors joining the introduction. The pledge's affirmative, within-his-control action (cosponsoring a matching amendment) is documented and precise. The "vote for" prong has not been triggered because no floor vote has occurred, so there has been no opportunity to break it; that does not detract from the completed pledged action. Schmitt is one of ~12 cosponsors rather than the lead sponsor, so FULL (not CHAMPIONED) is the correct level. The britt structure phrase and Schmitt's name are verbatim on the page; the cruz-source quote was lightly reformatted in the rating but its substance is fully supported and not fabricated. The same documentary standard (official cosponsorship records on the matching amendment) would apply to a member of either party.
