HC 12 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Congress; urge to call convention to propose an amendment to U.S. Constitution to provide congressional term limits.

Mississippi's House Concurrent Resolution 12 (HC 12) is a state application urging Congress to call a constitutional convention under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. It proposes a specific amendment to limit congressional terms: capping re-elections for both House members (max 6 terms) and Senators (max 2 terms). The resolution requests that Mississippi's application be counted toward the 34-state threshold needed to compel Congress to convene such a convention, aggregating with similar applications from other states. This is a procedural request, not a law, and does not change current term limits or directly affect voters or legislators.
