SCR 2 Louisiana Senate · 2024 Regular Session

CONGRESS: Memorializes Congress to call for a convention of states to amend the United States Constitution to establish a limitation on terms for the members of congress.

This Louisiana Senate Concurrent Resolution asks the U.S. Congress to organize a special meeting of state representatives to propose a change to the Constitution. The goal of this proposed change would be to set a maximum number of terms that members of the House of Representatives and the Senate can serve. To make this happen, the resolution directs state officials to send copies of the request to federal leaders and other state governments to help reach the required number of states. If enough states join this effort, Congress would be obligated to hold the meeting to consider adding a term limit rule to the Constitution.
