1.3 	the Constitution of the United States to provide that members of Congress be subject

1.5 	WHEREAS, the people of Minnesota as represented by their Legislature find that limiting 
1.6 	the terms of members of the United States House of Representatives and United States Senate 
1.7 	would be in the most immediate and best interest of the citizens of Minnesota; and
1.8 	WHEREAS, the United States and its citizens would be best served by limiting the terms of 
1.9 	members of the United States House of Representatives and United States Senate; and
1.10 	WHEREAS, under Article V of the Constitution of the United States, the Congress, on the 
1.11 	application of the legislatures of two-thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing 
1.12 	amendments to the Constitution of the United States; NOW, THEREFORE,
1.13 	BE IT RESOLVED by the Legislature of the State of Minnesota that it applies to the Congress 
1.14 	of the United States to call a constitutional convention to propose an amendment to the Constitution 
1.15 	of the United States that provides a limit on the number of terms that a person may be elected as a 
1.16 	member of the United States House of Representatives and a limit on the number of terms that a 
1.17 	person may be elected as a member of the United States Senate.
1.18 	BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of State of the State of Minnesota is directed 
1.19 	to prepare copies of this resolution and transmit them to the Speaker and the Clerk of the United 
1.20 	States House of Representatives, the President and the Secretary of the United States Senate, the 
1.21 	United States Secretary of State, and Minnesota's Senators and Representatives in Congress.
1.22 	BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this application covers the same subject matter as the 
1.23 	applications from other States to Congress to call a convention to set a limit on the number of terms 
1.24 	that a person may be elected to the United States House of Representatives and the United States 
1.25 	Senate, and this application shall be aggregated with the same for the purpose of attaining the 
2.1 	two-thirds of states necessary to require Congress to call a limited convention on this subject, but 
2.2 	shall not be aggregated with any other applications on any other subject.
2.3 	BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this application constitutes a continuing application in 
2.4 	accordance with Article V of the Constitution of the United States until the legislatures of at least 
2.5 	two-thirds of the several states have made applications on the same subject.
