AI Summary

  • Georgia applies to Congress to call an Article V constitutional convention for the sole purpose of proposing a term limits amendment for U.S. House and Senate members

  • The application may be aggregated with similar term limits applications from other states to reach the two-thirds threshold (34 states) required to trigger a convention

  • The application explicitly cannot be combined with state applications on any other subject matter

  • Georgia insists the convention be strictly limited to term limits and requests Congress enact severe criminal penalties for anyone who exceeds the convention's scope

  • The application remains in effect continuously until two-thirds of states submit applications on the same subject
