Bill > HR111

This concurrent resolution calls for an Article V convention to propose a constitutional amendment limiting the terms of members of Congress, specifically targeting the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. Under Article V of the Constitution, states can request a national convention to propose amendments if two-thirds of state legislatures agree. The resolution directs Pennsylvania's Secretary of the Commonwealth to send copies of the application to federal congressional leaders, Pennsylvania's congressional delegation, and legislative leaders in other states. The application is specifically focused on congressional term limits and cannot be combined with other amendment proposals. The resolution emphasizes that this application is a continuing request until at least two-thirds of states support the call for a convention, and importantly, participating in the convention does not commit Pennsylvania to approving any eventual proposed amendment. The goal is to provide a formal mechanism for states to address concerns about long-serving members of Congress by potentially establishing term limits through a constitutional amendment process.
