Mississippi would seek a convention on congressional term limits

Mississippi would apply to Congress to call a convention to propose term limits for members of the U.S. House and Senate. The proposed limits would cover the number of terms a person may be elected to the U.S. House or Senate. The application would count with other states' applications on the same subject toward the two-thirds needed to require Congress to call a convention. It would not count with applications on other subjects. The application would continue until at least two-thirds of the states had applied on the same subject.

The Secretary of State would send certified copies of the application to federal and state officials and ask them to cooperate. Recipients would include leaders of both houses of Congress, Mississippi's congressional delegation, and presiding officers of each state's legislative houses.
