A joint resolution applying to Congress to call a convention to propose an amendment to the Constitution of the United States

This bill asks Congress to call a constitutional convention specifically to limit how many terms members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate can serve. Minnesota is submitting this request under Article V of the Constitution, which allows state legislatures to apply for such a convention when two-thirds of states agree on the same topic. The resolution states that Minnesota's application will be combined with similar applications from other states but not with requests for different constitutional changes. If enough states submit matching applications, Congress would be required to convene a limited convention focused solely on term limits for federal legislators. The Minnesota Secretary of State is instructed to send copies of this resolution to federal officials and other state legislatures to coordinate the process.
