SC 515 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

United States Constitutional Convention under Article V; apply for congressional term limits.

Mississippi's bill SC 515 is a resolution applying for a constitutional convention under Article V of the U.S. Constitution to propose an amendment setting term limits for members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate. The resolution specifies that Mississippi's application will count toward the two-thirds of states required to compel Congress to call such a convention, and it remains active until that threshold is met. This bill does not change current law but initiates a procedural step toward potentially amending the Constitution to limit congressional terms. It directs Mississippi's Secretary of State to transmit the resolution to Congress and other states to coordinate efforts on this specific issue.
