The House Resolution introduced by Solomon on March 13, 2025, calls for a convention under Article V of the U.S. Constitution to propose amendments regarding the appointment and tenure of United States Supreme Court Justices. The resolution emphasizes the responsibility of state legislatures to ensure that the federal government operates within its enumerated powers and protects the rights of the people. It seeks to establish a process for appointing Justices at regular intervals and to limit their terms on the Court, reflecting a growing bipartisan interest in reforming the judiciary.
The resolution also outlines procedural steps, including the transmission of copies of the application to various congressional leaders and state legislative officers, to garner support for this initiative. It clarifies that this application is intended to be considered alongside similar applications from other states, aiming to achieve the two-thirds majority necessary to compel Congress to call a limited convention on this specific subject. The application is designed to remain active until at least two-thirds of the states have made similar requests, ensuring ongoing engagement in this legislative effort.
