This resolution asks Kentucky to formally request that Congress call a national convention under Article V of the U.S. Constitution, with the specific goal of proposing a constitutional amendment to limit how many terms members of Congress can serve. Kentucky's application would be combined with similar requests from other states, and it would remain active until such a convention is called. This is a procedural step in a process that requires applications from two-thirds of all states before a convention can occur. Who it may affect: Kentucky voters and residents who elect members of the U.S. House and Senate.
