The resolution from the One Hundred Ninth Legislature of Nebraska calls upon Congress to convene a convention under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. The purpose of this convention would be to propose an amendment that establishes term limits for members of both the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate. The resolution emphasizes the need for such limits to enhance democratic accountability and prevent career politicians from holding office indefinitely.
Additionally, the resolution mandates that copies be sent to various congressional leaders and state legislative officers to garner support for this initiative. It specifies that this application will be considered alongside similar applications from other states, aiming to achieve the two-thirds majority required to compel Congress to call the convention. Furthermore, it establishes that this application remains active until at least two-thirds of the states have made similar requests on the same topic.
