Bill > LR21

This resolution is an official application by the Nebraska Legislature to the U.S. Congress, invoking Article V of the Constitution, to call a convention specifically designed to propose a constitutional amendment that would limit the number of terms members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate can serve. The resolution directs the Legislature's Clerk to send copies of the application to key federal and state legislative leaders, including the President and Secretary of the Senate, the Speaker and Clerk of the House of Representatives, the House Judiciary Committee chairperson, Nebraska's Congressional delegation, and presiding officers of other state legislatures. The resolution explicitly states that this application should be considered in conjunction with similar applications from other states, with the goal of reaching the two-thirds state threshold required to compel Congress to convene a limited convention on congressional term limits. Furthermore, the application is considered a continuous request until the required number of states have made similar applications, and it is to be aggregated only with other term limits applications, not with proposals on different subjects.
