The resolution from the State of Arkansas seeks to apply to the United States Congress for an Article V convention with the specific purpose of proposing an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would impose term limits on members of Congress. It highlights that Arkansas has already enacted term limits for its own congressional representatives and notes that other states have similar limitations. The resolution references a Supreme Court ruling that established that term limits for Congress can only be set through a constitutional amendment, reflecting the public's strong desire for such limits as demonstrated in elections and polls.

The resolution formally requests that Congress convene a convention to discuss and propose these term limits, specifically limiting House members to three two-year terms and Senators to two six-year terms. It instructs the Secretary of State to send copies of the application to various congressional leaders and state legislative officers, emphasizing that this application should be considered alongside similar applications from other states to meet the two-thirds requirement necessary for Congress to call the convention. Additionally, it establishes that this application will remain active until at least two-thirds of the states have made similar requests on the same subject.
