AI Summary
-
Florida's legislature applies to Congress under Article V of the U.S. Constitution to call a convention for the sole purpose of proposing amendments to establish term limits for members of the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate
-
The resolution aligns Florida's application with existing applications from Alabama, Missouri, and Wisconsin on the same subject, to be aggregated toward the two-thirds state threshold required to call a convention
-
The application explicitly prohibits aggregation with any other Article V convention applications on different subjects, restricting the scope strictly to congressional term limits
-
The resolution is automatically revoked and nullified retroactively if it is used to support a convention with any agenda beyond proposing congressional term limits
-
Florida voters approved congressional term limits by over 76% in 1992, but the U.S. Supreme Court struck down state-imposed limits in U.S. Term Limits, Inc. v. Thornton (1995), necessitating a constitutional amendment approach
