Bill > S0105

This resolution calls for South Carolina to formally request that the United States Congress initiate an Article V Constitutional Convention with a specific, narrow purpose of proposing an amendment to limit the number of terms members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate can be elected to serve. The resolution requires that copies of this application be sent to key federal and state legislative officials, and explicitly states that this application should be aggregated only with similar term limits applications from other states to help reach the two-thirds state threshold required to trigger the convention. The General Assembly insists that the convention remain strictly limited to the term limits subject and requests that Congress establish severe criminal penalties for any attempts to expand the convention's scope. Additionally, the resolution declares itself a continuous application under Article V until at least two-thirds of state legislatures have made similar applications, demonstrating a persistent commitment to achieving a constitutional amendment on congressional term limits.
