AZ HCR2015

Arizona Legislature applies to Congress under Article V of the U.S. Constitution to call a limited constitutional convention for proposing a congressional term limits amendment.

The amendment would set limits on the number of terms a person may serve in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate.

Arizona references that 23 states previously passed laws or constitutional amendments limiting congressional ballot access based on prior terms served, which were struck down by the Supreme Court.

The Secretary of State must transmit copies of this resolution to federal and state legislative leadership, requesting cooperation in aggregating this application with other states' applications.

This application remains continuing until legislatures from at least two-thirds of all states submit applications on the same term limits subject matter.
