SCR 1607 Kansas Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

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 Senate concurrent resolution formally requests the U.S. Congress to convene a national convention dedicated solely to proposing a constitutional amendment that would impose term limits on members of the House of Representatives and the Senate. The bill argues that such limits are necessary to reduce the influence of special interests and restore public trust in government by preventing long-serving officials from accumulating excessive power. If the resolution gains support from two-thirds of state legislatures, it would trigger a constitutional process requiring ratification by three-fourths of the states to enact the proposed changes. The measure also specifies that Kansas delegates to this potential convention must be selected from current state and local officials or through district elections, while explicitly barring anyone currently or formerly holding federal office from serving.
