The resolution calls for a convention to amend the United States Constitution to impose term limits on members of Congress. It emphasizes the role of state legislators as protectors of liberty against federal overreach and asserts that limiting congressional terms will enhance accountability to constituents. The resolution urges Congress to initiate this convention under Article V of the Constitution, specifically to propose amendments that would restrict the number of terms for both the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Additionally, the resolution establishes that this application is a continuing one until at least two-thirds of the states have made similar applications on the same topic. It specifies that this application should be considered alongside those from other states regarding term limits, while remaining separate from applications on different subjects. The Secretary of State is tasked with forwarding copies of the resolution to key congressional leaders and members of North Dakota's congressional delegation to seek their support.
