I've heard several lawyers on TV discuss it and none said there is a time limit. The only possible restriction any of them suggested is that in general Americans have a "right to a speedy trial." But they also acknowledge that if some jurors announced on TV that they weren't even going to try to be impartial they would be dismissed. IOW nobody really knows.
