Bill > SCR4011

This concurrent resolution calls for a convention of states under Article V of the U.S. Constitution to propose an amendment that would establish term limits for members of Congress. The resolution is grounded in the belief that the founders intended state legislators to protect liberty by restraining federal power, and that limiting congressional terms will increase elected officials' accountability to their constituents. Specifically, the resolution urges Congress to call a limited convention focused solely on setting term limits for members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate. The resolution stipulates that this application is a continuing one, meaning it remains valid until at least two-thirds of state legislatures have submitted similar applications, and that it should be aggregated with term limits applications from other states but not with applications on different subjects. Additionally, the resolution directs the Secretary of State to forward copies of the resolution to key federal legislative leaders and North Dakota's Congressional delegation, requesting their cooperation in advancing this initiative.
