The resolution from the State of Arkansas seeks to apply to the United States Congress for an Article V Convention of the States 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 enacted 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, specifying the desired limits for both the House of Representatives and the Senate. It instructs the Secretary of State to send copies of the application to various congressional leaders and state legislative officials to garner support. Additionally, it clarifies that this application is intended to be considered alongside similar applications from other states, aiming to achieve the necessary two-thirds majority of states to prompt Congress to call the convention, and it will remain active until at least two-thirds of the states submit applications on the same topic.
