Bill > HJR3

This joint resolution is an application by the Ohio General Assembly to Congress, invoking Article V of the U.S. Constitution, to call a limited national convention for the specific purpose of proposing a constitutional amendment to establish term limits for members of the U.S. Congress. The resolution seeks to set limits on the number of terms that can be served by representatives in the House and senators in the Senate, and directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to send authenticated copies of the resolution to key federal and state legislative leaders. The application is designed to be considered alongside similar applications from other states, with the goal of reaching the two-thirds state threshold required to compel Congress to convene a convention. Importantly, the resolution specifies that this application is solely focused on congressional term limits and should not be aggregated with applications on other subjects. Furthermore, the resolution is declared a continuing application until the requisite number of states have made similar applications, thereby keeping the effort active until the term limit amendment goal is achieved.
