New Hampshire legislature requests Congress to call a constitutional convention to set term limits for U.S. Congress members.
The bill from New Hampshire seeks to initiate a constitutional convention to propose an amendment limiting the number of terms for members of the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. It requests cooperation from other states' legislatures and directs the house clerk to send copies of the application to relevant federal officials. This application will not be combined with others on different subjects and will remain active until two-thirds of the states make similar applications. Currently, there are no term limits for members of Congress.
