United States Constitutional Convention under Article V; apply for congressional term limits.
This Mississippi legislative resolution formally requests the U.S. Congress to convene a constitutional convention under Article V specifically to propose limits on how many terms members of Congress can serve. The bill affects only the state of Mississippi by submitting its application as one of the required two-thirds of state legislatures needed to trigger the national convention process. It does not create new laws or change current term limits but instead initiates a procedural step toward potentially amending the U.S. Constitution. The resolution specifies that this application covers only congressional term limits and will be combined with similar applications from other states once enough states have submitted requests.
