Bill Summary
RESOLUTION applying to Congress, as provided by Article V of the Constitution of the United States of America, to set a limit on the number of terms that a person may be elected as a Member of congress.
AI Summary
This concurrent resolution, passed by the Hawaii State Legislature, formally requests that the United States Congress propose a constitutional amendment to limit the number of terms a person can be elected to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. This action is taken under Article V of the U.S. Constitution, which allows states to apply to Congress to call a convention for proposing amendments if at least two-thirds of the states make similar applications. Hawaii's resolution specifies that its application should be counted towards this threshold for the specific issue of congressional term limits and is a continuing request until enough states join in. The resolution also directs that certified copies be sent to various federal officials and the legislatures of other states to encourage their cooperation.
