This resolution asks Kentucky to formally request that Congress call a national convention, as allowed under Article V of the U.S. Constitution, for the purpose of proposing a constitutional amendment that would limit how many terms members of Congress can serve. It also states that Kentucky's request should be combined with similar requests from other states and remain active until such a convention is called. This is a procedural step, not a direct change to law, and any amendment proposed by such a convention would still need to be ratified before taking effect. Who it may affect: Kentucky voters and U.S. citizens who elect members of Congress.
