The bill, S. 105, is a concurrent resolution from the South Carolina General Assembly that seeks to apply for a convention of states under Article V of the United States Constitution. The purpose of this convention would be to propose an amendment that limits the number of terms a person can serve as a member of both the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate. The resolution emphasizes that such term limits would be in the best interest of the citizens and requests that Congress call this convention upon receiving applications from two-thirds of the states.
Additionally, the resolution outlines that copies of the application will be sent to various federal and state officials to garner support. It specifies that this application is to be considered alongside similar applications from other states, focusing solely on the term limits for Congress members. The resolution also insists that the convention's scope be strictly limited to this subject and calls for severe penalties for any violations of this limitation. Furthermore, it establishes that this application will remain active until at least two-thirds of the states have made similar applications.
