A joint resolution applying to Congress to call a convention to propose an amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
This bill directs the Minnesota Legislature to formally request that the U.S. Congress convene a constitutional convention specifically to propose amendments limiting terms for members of the House of Representatives and Senate. The resolution states that Minnesota's application should be grouped with similar requests from other states to collectively reach the two-thirds threshold required to trigger such a convention. It designates the Secretary of State to send copies of this request to federal officials and state legislators across the country to encourage cooperation. The measure aims to reduce the influence of special interests and allow elected officials to focus more on policy rather than reelection by establishing term limits for federal legislators.
