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 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 the procedural steps for transmitting this application to various federal and state officials, ensuring that it is considered alongside similar applications from other states. It insists that the convention's focus be strictly limited to the proposed term limits and calls for severe penalties for any violations of this scope. The application is intended to remain active until at least two-thirds of the states have made similar requests regarding the same subject matter.
