Bill Summary

by the members of the Missouri Senate, One Hundred First General Assembly, Second Regular Session, the House of Representatives concurring therein, hereby make an application to Congress, as provided by Article V of the Constitution of the United States of America, to call a convention limited to proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America to set a limit on the number of terms that a person may be elected as a member of the United States House of Representatives and to set a limit on the number of terms that a person may be elected as a member of the United States Senate.

AI Summary

This Concurrent Resolution is an official request from the Missouri Legislature to the United States Congress to convene a special convention, as allowed by Article V of the U.S. Constitution. The purpose of this convention would be solely to propose an amendment to the Constitution that establishes term limits for members of both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, meaning there would be a maximum number of terms an individual could serve in these positions. This resolution also clarifies that Missouri's application should be counted alongside similar applications from other states for the same purpose, and it specifically cancels out a previous, similar application made by Missouri in 1986.
