Bill > HR258

This resolution calls for the Georgia General Assembly to apply to the United States Congress to initiate an Article V convention specifically aimed at proposing a constitutional amendment to establish term limits for members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate. The resolution emphasizes that the proposed convention must be strictly limited to the subject of congressional term limits and cannot address any other issues. It requests that Congress implement severe criminal penalties for any attempts to expand the convention's scope beyond term limits. The application is considered a continuing request until at least two-thirds of state legislatures submit similar applications, which would then compel Congress to call the convention. The resolution also directs the Speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives to distribute copies of the resolution to federal and state legislative leaders, seeking their cooperation in pursuing this constitutional amendment process. The underlying motivation, as stated in the whereas clauses, is that term limits would be in the "most immediate and best interest of the citizens of the nation."
