The resolution expresses the Kansas Legislature's concern that the U.S. Congress has become overly dependent on powerful special interests rather than the American people, undermining the integrity of elections and eroding public trust in government. It references the intent of the Constitution's framers for Congress to be accountable to the people and highlights a growing consensus among Americans for elections to be free from disproportionate influence by special interests. The resolution emphasizes the need for a national convention to propose an amendment that would establish term limits for members of Congress, thereby preventing the accumulation of excessive power by long-serving officials.

In accordance with Article V of the U.S. Constitution, the resolution formally requests that Congress call a convention for the purpose of proposing this amendment. It stipulates that delegates from Kansas to this convention should be selected from current state and local officials or elected representatives, explicitly excluding anyone who has held federal office. The resolution aims to ensure that the proposed amendment has widespread support and is ratified by a significant majority of states, thereby reinforcing the democratic principles of representation and accountability in government.
