United States Constitutional Convention under Article V; apply for congressional term limits.
Mississippi's SC 513 is a state resolution applying for a constitutional convention under Article V to propose term limits for U.S. Congress members. It specifically seeks to limit House and Senate terms to a set number, joining similar applications from other states to reach the required two-thirds threshold for Congress to call the convention. The resolution remains active until two-thirds of states apply for this specific change, and it will be formally sent to federal officials as requested. This is a procedural step toward potential constitutional amendment, not a policy change itself.
