Bill > SC513

This concurrent resolution, passed by the Mississippi Legislature, formally applies to the U.S. Congress to call a convention for proposing amendments to the U.S. Constitution, specifically to establish term limits for members of the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. Article V of the Constitution outlines two ways to amend it: either through a process initiated by Congress or by a convention called by Congress at the request of two-thirds of the state legislatures. This resolution is Mississippi's request to trigger the latter process, aiming to aggregate its application with similar requests from other states to reach the necessary two-thirds threshold, but it explicitly states this application is only for the purpose of term limits and should not be combined with applications for other issues. The application is considered ongoing until enough states join, and certified copies will be sent to federal lawmakers and other state legislatures to encourage cooperation in calling this limited convention.
