Bill Summary
Congressional term limits; convention
AI Summary
This concurrent resolution, passed by the Arizona House of Representatives and Senate, formally requests the United States Congress to propose a constitutional amendment establishing term limits for members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate, citing Article V of the U.S. Constitution which allows states to call a convention for proposing amendments if at least two-thirds of the states apply. The resolution expresses frustration that previous state-level attempts to impose term limits were struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court and aims to use the states' power to compel Congress to act on this issue, or otherwise initiate a convention to address it, thereby restoring "rotation in office" for federal lawmakers.
