Bill > SCR114

This Concurrent Resolution formally applies to the United States Congress, as allowed by Article V of the Constitution, to call a convention specifically for the purpose of proposing an amendment that would limit the number of terms a person can be elected to serve in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. The resolution states that the Idaho Legislature believes such a term limit is necessary for the good of the American people and directs the Secretary of State to send copies of this application to various federal officials and state legislative leaders, requesting their cooperation. It also clarifies that this application is intended to be combined with similar applications from other states to reach the two-thirds threshold required for Congress to call such a convention, but only for the specific issue of term limits for members of Congress, and that this application remains in effect until the necessary number of states have applied.
