Making application to the congress of the United States to call a convention of the states to establish term limits for members of congress.
This Kansas House Concurrent Resolution requests the U.S. Congress to convene a national convention specifically to propose a constitutional amendment establishing term limits for members of Congress. The bill aims to restrict how many times individuals can be elected to the House of Representatives and the Senate to prevent the accumulation of power and influence by long-serving officials. If approved by two-thirds of state legislatures, this application would trigger the constitutional process for states to vote on the proposed changes. The resolution also outlines that Kansas delegates to such a convention would be selected from current state and local officials or through district elections, while barring anyone with past or current federal office experience from serving.
