AI Summary

  • Ohio applies to Congress under Article V of the U.S. Constitution to call a limited national convention for proposing an amendment establishing term limits for members of Congress.

  • The convention would be limited exclusively to proposing an amendment setting term limits for U.S. House members and U.S. Senate members.

  • The House Clerk is directed to transmit authenticated copies to the President, Senate Secretary, House Speaker, House Judiciary Committee leadership, Ohio's congressional delegation, and presiding officers of all state legislatures.

  • This application shall be aggregated with similar applications from other states to reach the two-thirds threshold required by Article V, but not combined with applications on other subjects.
