The bill is a joint resolution from the Minnesota Legislature requesting Congress to call a convention for the purpose of proposing an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would impose term limits on Members of Congress. The resolution emphasizes the benefits of term limits, such as reducing the influence of special interests, allowing legislators to prioritize policy over reelection, and fostering new ideas within Congress. It cites Article V of the Constitution, which allows for such a convention upon the application of two-thirds of the state legislatures.
Additionally, the resolution states that Minnesota's application should be considered alongside similar applications from other states, specifically regarding term limits for both the House of Representatives and the Senate. It clarifies that this application is a continuing one until at least two-thirds of the states have made similar requests. The Secretary of State of Minnesota is tasked with disseminating copies of the resolution to various congressional leaders and state legislative officials to seek their support.
