A Concurrent Resolution calling for a convention under Article V of the Constitution of the United States to consider amendments that limit the number of terms that members of Congress may serve and establish and limit the terms of office for United States Supreme Court Justices.
HR 21 is a Pennsylvania House Concurrent Resolution (not a bill) calling for an Article V constitutional convention. It requests Congress to convene a limited convention to consider two specific proposals: (1) term limits for U.S. House and Senate members, and (2) term limits for U.S. Supreme Court Justices. The resolution is procedural - it does not enact term limits but initiates the process for states to collectively seek a convention. It explicitly states Pennsylvania has no obligation to support any resulting constitutional amendment. This action aligns with Pennsylvania's intent to join other states in exploring these topics through the Article V process.
