Bill > HCR023

This concurrent resolution, passed by the Idaho Legislature, states that the legislature finds it desirable to restore term limits for members of the U.S. Congress, noting that previous state-level attempts to implement such limits were deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. It formally applies to the United States Congress, as provided for in Article V of the U.S. Constitution, to call a convention of the states specifically for the purpose of proposing an amendment to the Constitution that would limit the number of terms individuals can serve in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. The resolution directs the Secretary of State to send copies of this application to various federal officials and to the presiding officers of other state legislatures, seeking their cooperation. It also clarifies that this application should be counted towards the two-thirds of states needed to trigger a convention on this specific issue and that it remains in effect until that threshold is met, superseding any prior applications from Idaho on the same subject.
