  • Requests Congress to draft and send a term limits amendment to states for ratification, with states acting independently through a convention if Congress fails to act

  • Application to be aggregated with similar term-limits applications from other states toward reaching the two-thirds threshold (34 states) required to compel Congress to call a convention
