AI Summary
This concurrent resolution, passed by the Mississippi Legislature, formally requests the United States Congress to convene a special convention of the states. The sole purpose of this convention would be to propose a constitutional amendment that establishes term limits for members of both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, meaning there would be a maximum number of terms an individual could serve in each chamber. This application is intended to be combined with similar requests from at least two-thirds of the other states, as required by Article V of the U.S. Constitution, to trigger Congress's obligation to call such a convention.
