Joint Resolution Concerning Federal Term Limits
SJR 4 is a Utah joint resolution applying to Congress to call a constitutional convention under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. It specifically seeks to propose an amendment limiting members of Congress to a set number of terms in both the House and Senate. The resolution states it joins 22 other states that previously sought similar term limits but were overruled by the Supreme Court. This is a procedural application (not a law) that Utah’s legislature intends to maintain until two-thirds of states support the same request.
