Whereas, Article V of the Constitution of the United States provides
the states with the authority to call a convention for the purpose of
proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, to be
ratified by the legislatures or by conventions in three-fourths of the
several states on application by at least two-thirds of the states; and
Whereas, this power provides the States with the leverage needed to
force Congress to act when it otherwise does not want to; and
Whereas, the citizens of the State of Arizona and twenty-two other
states, having passed statutes or state constitutional amendments placing
term limits on members of Congress, were overruled by the United States
Supreme Court; and
Whereas, the Legislature of the State of Arizona hereby joins with
other states in instructing Congress to draft a term limits amendment and
send it to the States for ratification, failing which the States will act
on their own; and
Whereas, the Arizona Legislature, a body of citizen legislators,
desires to restore rotation in office for members serving in the Congress
of the United States.
Therefore
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Arizona,
the Senate concurring:
1. That, pursuant to Article V of the Constitution of the United
States, the Legislature of the State of Arizona formally applies to the
Congress of the United States to call a convention of the states limited
to proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to set
a limit on the number of terms that a person may be elected as a Member of
the United States House of Representatives and to set a limit on the
number of terms that a person may be elected as a Member of the United
States Senate.
2. That this application constitutes a continuing application in
accordance with Article V of the Constitution of the United States until
at least two-thirds of the legislatures of the several states have made
application on the same subjects.
3. That this application shall be considered as covering the same
subject matter as the applications from other states to Congress to call a
convention to set a limit on the number of terms that a person may be
elected to the United States House of Representatives and the United
States Senate, and this application shall be aggregated with same for the
purpose of attaining the two-thirds of states necessary to require
Congress to call a limited convention on this subject, but shall not be
aggregated with any other applications on any other subject.
4. That the Secretary of State of the State of Arizona transmit a
copy of this Resolution to the President and Secretary of the United
States Senate, the Speaker, Clerk and Judiciary Committee Chairman of the
United States House of Representatives, each Member of Congress from the
State of Arizona and the presiding officers of each house of the several
state legislatures, requesting their cooperation.
