This concurrent resolution from the New Hampshire legislature seeks to apply to Congress for a convention of states under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. The purpose of this convention would be to propose a constitutional amendment that establishes term limits for members of both the United States House of Representatives and the Senate. The resolution emphasizes that it aligns with similar applications from other states, aiming to gather the necessary support from two-thirds of state legislatures to compel Congress to call the convention.
Furthermore, the resolution stipulates that it will be considered a continuing application until at least two-thirds of the states have made similar requests on the same subject. It directs the house clerk to send copies of the application to various federal and state officials to solicit their cooperation in this initiative. The overarching goal is to limit the number of terms that elected officials can serve in Congress, reflecting a desire for increased accountability and turnover in legislative positions.
