The resolution from the 136th General Assembly of Ohio, introduced by Senators Gavarone and Timken, seeks to apply to the United States Congress for a limited national convention. The primary aim of this convention is to propose an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would establish term limits for members of both the House of Representatives and the Senate. This action is grounded in Article V of the Constitution, which allows for such a convention upon the application of two-thirds of state legislatures.

Furthermore, the resolution directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to send authenticated copies to various federal and state officials, requesting their support. It emphasizes that this application is intended to be considered alongside similar applications from other states, specifically for the purpose of establishing term limits, and will remain active until two-thirds of the states have made similar applications on this topic.
