Bill > H3008

This concurrent resolution from the South Carolina General Assembly applies for a convention under Article V of the United States Constitution to propose a congressional term limits amendment. The resolution outlines several key provisions and limitations for such a convention, including that Congress can only call the convention and determine a reasonable time and place, and that the convention must be limited to discussing congressional term limits. The resolution specifies that the convention will operate on a one state, one vote basis, and explicitly prohibits any discussion or proposed amendments that would modify the Bill of Rights or the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments. Additionally, the resolution requires that two-thirds of state legislatures must submit similar applications before Congress can call the convention, and recommends that any proposed amendments be ratified by state legislatures rather than special conventions. The South Carolina General Assembly reserves the right to provide further instructions to its delegates and to recall them if they breach their duties. The Secretary of State is directed to distribute copies of this application to various federal and state legislative bodies, seeking their cooperation in the process.
