Bill > HCR13

This resolution calls on Congress to initiate a constitutional convention specifically to propose a term limits amendment for members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate. The resolution acknowledges that currently no term limits exist for federal legislators and seeks to change this through a process outlined in Article V of the U.S. Constitution, which allows states to collectively request a national convention to propose constitutional amendments. The resolution directs the New Hampshire House clerk to send copies of the application to key federal and state legislative leaders, including Senate and House leadership, and requests cooperation from other state legislatures. Importantly, the resolution stipulates that this application should only be aggregated with similar state applications focused on congressional term limits, and it is considered a continuing application until at least two-thirds of state legislatures (34 states) have submitted similar requests. The goal is to trigger a constitutional convention specifically limited to discussing and potentially proposing a term limits amendment for federal lawmakers.
