The resolution from the 136th General Assembly of Ohio, introduced by Representative Workman and co-sponsored by several other representatives, 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 initiative 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 of the resolution to various federal and state officials, including the President and Secretary of the U.S. Senate, and members of Congress from Ohio. It emphasizes that this application should be considered alongside similar applications from other states to achieve the necessary two-thirds majority for Congress to call the convention. The resolution also states that it will remain active until at least two-thirds of the states have made similar applications on the same subject.
