Bill > SCR1011

This resolution, a formal request from the Arizona Legislature to the U.S. Congress, applies to Congress to call a convention of the states, as allowed by Article V of the U.S. Constitution, for the sole purpose of proposing a constitutional amendment to establish term limits for members of the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. The resolution emphasizes that this application is a continuing one, intended to be counted towards the requirement that at least two-thirds of the states must apply for such a convention before Congress is obligated to call one, and it specifically aims to aggregate with similar applications from other states regarding congressional term limits. The context provided highlights that previous state-level attempts to impose term limits were struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court, leading Arizona and other states to pursue this route to encourage Congress to act or, failing that, to use the states' power to propose amendments themselves.
