-
Idaho and 22 other states previously passed congressional term limits laws that were ruled unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court, prompting this Article V approach
-
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, but cannot be combined with applications on other subjects
-
The Secretary of State must transmit copies to congressional leadership, Idaho's congressional delegation, and presiding officers of all state legislatures
