Overview
This resolution asks the U.S. Congress to propose a constitutional amendment limiting the number of terms members of the House of Representatives and Senate can serve. It also urges Congress to call a constitutional convention of the states to propose a single amendment on this issue. The resolution reflects a desire to restore term limits, following a Supreme Court decision that overturned existing state-level term limits, and seeks to leverage the support of other states to achieve this goal.
